The sky is not falling because I have found writing time and motivation two days in a row.

The sky is not falling because I finally fixed my desktop computer. Turns out the problems were a faulty monitor cable, a faulty USB cable and a flat motherboard battery. There's a little bit of soldering I need to do to fix the front USB ports and I probably should replace the noisy fan one of these days, but apart from that it's running fine. Totally braced for something to go 'bang'.

The sky is not falling because I am feeling a little better, and I am enjoying my break from enforced writing. Oh, I also started a Tumblr and I think it ate my life in increments of five minutes. Nibbling away at my sanity... It's mostly metal, random things from every one of my fandoms, things I find pretty, weird photography, weird art, stuff I write, plot hydra tidbits, and occasionally stuff I draw or pictures I take. Turns out blogging is a lot easier and a lot more fun when you don't have to write much. Who knew. So, Tumblr ate my life.

I like your Tumblr. I can't believe your brother got bored with Doctor Who!

The sky is not falling because I am FINALLY moved out of the house. Not quite into the bunkhouse because the guy hasn't moved rooms yet (though he was given til Fri to move out so there's that), but I stored some of my stuff in an empty room and I'm going to see RP buddy for the weekend! She can't take the sky from me anymore!

I just reread the Old Kingdom trilogy, a childhood favorite...but this time, I got rather bored. There were two huge things that sort of put me off throughout.
I picked up Clariel, a new prequel which just came out, and turned to the end because I wanted to see how many pages there were.
AND I ACCIDENTALLY SAW A HUGE GIANT BOOK RUINER OF A SPOILER!!
The sky is not falling on this reread of Abhorsen (the last book in the trilogy), I picked up on a subtle hint I had never seen before. The spoiler just confirmed I was right.
Being a writer has kind of ruined books for me now. I feel like every single one I've picked up lately has had something glaring wrong with it that just annoyed me too much even to be able to read beyond the first few pages, or which left me feeling cold after finishing.
I'll just take that to mean that hopefully I'll be able to edit better once I actually get to edit something. Maybe that's why the sky isn't falling.
Edit: Oh no. I should never have listened to Gateway to the Antisphere while reading this. Now Nameless has wandered into the fandom, found himself some bells, and is trying to raise Cthulhu from the depths of the river in Death. I'm more worried because he appears to be succeeding...

SINCE WHEN IS THERE A FOURTH OLD KINGDOM BOOK WHY DID I NOT HEAR ABOUT THIS MY TRILOGY IS AT HOME SKJGLKSJG
*ahem*
The sky is not falling because I moved my stuff into my new room and cooked dinner and am now watching a movie with my friend/coworker, and I spent the weekend with my college friends, and I spent the day attempting to keep myself busy at work (we literally ran out of things to keep us busy at 9. It sucked.) by watching GIS videos and discretely working on translations. I finished the Night's Watch Oath and The Circle by Blackmore's Night, both of which I've been meaning to finish for over a year ^_^

It came out about a year ago. I just finished reading it and I love it! Clariel is written a lot better than his earlier work. I do recommend it, if you like the Old Kingdom books. JUST DON'T READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE END BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY RUINS THE ENDING. There's also a novella set after Abhorsen, which has been out for a while. I think he said he's going to write more Lirael books too. ^_^
The sky is not falling because I OFFICIALLY STARTED SPRINTING, BURNDOWN, GOALS, ITEMS TO CHECK OFF, AND EVERYTHING.
It's implementation time.

The sky is not falling because I OFFICIALLY STARTED SPRINTING, BURNDOWN, GOALS, ITEMS TO CHECK OFF, AND EVERYTHING. It's implementation time. The sky is not falling because I baked bread from scratch. I've done it before, but this time, for the first time ever, it actually is shaped like real bread, smells like real bread, tastes like real bread, and doesn't have the consistency of a half digested hockey puck. For the first time, my family loved it and there were no complaints. This pleases me. Wow. The funk I've been in since August and before still hasn't ended. I'm just too anxious to write. This thread is actually helping though. It makes me feel like maybe I can pull myself out of it eventually.

The sky isn't falling because even though I'm making zero breakthrough in my work, I'm falling more and more in love each day with my boyfriend (thanks sis!) and ugh, I'M JUST SO HAPPEH! (2 months next Saturday! Woo!) Also, I've been rediscovering 8tracks. Listening to a 30 song playlist right now filled with pirate shanties and the like. It's renewing my love for Rogue's Calling~ Also also Jᴀy V. Aꜱᴛᴇʀ 💀🐍, any chance you can send some of that bread my way?

The sky isn't falling because it's my birthday (or was until half an hour ago), and I got NEW BOOKS!

I still do numbers and stuff, but with better coworkers and a way better boss. They seriously make all the difference.

The sky isn't falling because I can be blissfully, utterly alone (with 5 other people in the place but still) on the weekends and not feel the need to go on a 6 hour roadtrip to get away from certain people ^_^
