I am– all of the stories I am writing interconnect. I can’t finish any one of them without finishing the others first, but like– that’s– all of them, I need one I can finish, but I can’t finish it until I write the other one too to know how they’re going to connect, and–

i swear i didn’t mean to do this to myself but I am fucked if i can figure out how to meaningfully work around it so like

screams

breathes a moment

screams again

it’s probably bleedover from real life where I feel like I can’t do anything, I can’t accomplish anything, everything’s waiting for something else and what is it all waiting for and I go around and around and around and finally realize all of it is waiting for me to do something but I don’t know how to do the thing and anyway

Hoo, boy. I. Yeah. It will be fine. I know what I’m doing, I’ve done this before, it will be fine, and if I fuck it up, oh well, this is fanfiction, it’s not like this is my livelihood, I’ll just be that overambitious soul who couldn’t stick a landing. it’s fine. Lord knows I’ve missed more landings than I’ve stuck, so it’s not even like it’ll be different.

So I’m coping really well with 2021, how are you doing? Great, right? Yes! This is great. it’s all great. It’s all great. Great. Thanks!

(Blessings, blessings upon the houses of y’all who’ve been rereading and leaving comments, or telling other people to read what’s there and they’re leaving comments, and such, because, I am, sometimes, in need of reminders, that I have written things, and they’ve worked fine, so clearly I know what I’m doing on some level. And yet now I’m stressed that I can’t get my shit together enough to answer comments, so– just know, I may not be answering comments but I am reading them several times apiece and they are a balm to me.) I… wrote a bunch more and am going to continue that separately, and just breathe here for a bit. (Your picture was not posted)

Good luck <3
The stories are absolutely working, I just reread _Home out in the Wind_ for some pandemictimes comfort and then pulled out _The Ideal Man_ again recently.
May you find your way through the tangle!
