⏾ 004: My "Before Spring Semester" To-Do List
My brain feels like a disordered filing cabinet lately because my partner and I have been kinda turning our house upside down. We've been doing a lot of cleaning, and I've been helping him finish his one thousand decor projects. Since he has ADHD, he decided that this year he's going to get to all the things he's been putting off lol. He's very picky about decor whereas I'm not, so that's his job. I try not to care that much, even if he puts a lot of pastel abstract art in gigantic frames on the wall. (Abstract art has never been my thing, but he's happy so that's all that matters to me.)
So I've been tired and executive dysfunction has been kicking my ass as per usual. Making lists is fun and exciting for some reason though, so here's all the things I want future me to remember to get to:
(1) Add books to my kindle. I've started adding some on there, but I had the thought recently that I'll probably want to use it when I'm at school. I've mostly added some BL I already had digitally or spicy things I've been wanting to read. However, I'm not a weirdo that wants to read BL anal sex in public, so I need more novels or SFW manga on there LOL.
(2) Re-outline my next fic. Yes, I need to redo the outline. My issue is that I thought this was going to be maybe a 5k fic, and after some writing, I now think it's going to be far longer... as is my curse with writing multi-chaptered stories, I suppose. My chaotic brain keeps thinking of scenes to add, so I need to figure out where each chapter split needs to occur.
(3) Write. I simply haven't had much time to do this lately with all the house things going on. My partner also decided to start Game of Thrones recently, but he expressed that he wanted it to be something we watch together. This means that we often watch it at night when he's off work, when my usual writing time would be. I don't know why I can only write well at night, but I wish this motivation extended to all hours of the day lol. As the house things are dwindling now, I'm going to find more time for this and make myself more excited about it (the outlining should help with this, hopefully).
(4) Make another list! I am the king of never reading or watching anything I say I will, even when I'm fully interested in whatever the story is. But, I still want to do the Fannish 50, which I think I can motivate myself with. I'll probably make a list of (new or revisited) books/anime/etc that I want to review or maybe live-blog my reactions to. I was particularly thinking of doing this with the Hypmic manga (w/o screencaps of course, for those who know), because I've been meaning to catch up with it.
