No writing today. I've been a bit too busy the past week. qaq

A piece of media I keep on repeat is the show Princess Tutu. The show is very hopeful, exploring ways to redefine one's role or even evolve beyond it. Fakir's development in particular from start to end is wonderful, especially with his friendship with Duck.

Ooh, hopeful is a thing I'm very much needing in my media rn. I'm going to have to look this up!

Hope you get some time to write!

I actually wrote today! And even finished the thing! It still needs a quick editing pass, but it's now only the second (???) fic I've finished this year(!!!).

A new to me piece of media I am obsessed with keep returning to is a 1968 album "The Wozard of Iz—An Electronic Odyssey". It's basically a concept album parody that's very much a satire of American society of the 60s (hippies! consumerism! televangelism! all to a MOOG synthesizer soundtrack!). It's such a fascinating time capsule of the 60s and still upsettingly relevant today. I have not been able to stop thinking about it.

(Note: I only know for Amazon Music, but it may be the same for other streaming sites, but the tracks are listed in the wrong order. I have made a Playlist to put them in the correct order. Because that's how obsessed I am.

I wrote another 500 words (actually a bit more) today, which makes me very happy, because it looks as if I'm really able to keep up with writing every morning before I leave for work. That's the only way I can write every day and make some progress with my WIP. It has already paid off, I'm only three scenes away from the ending now.

I don't have any piece of media I'm obsessed nowadays. They all seem to rehash the same plot. Could be a me problem, though. Burnout is a bitch.

[glitteringstars]

Heck yeah, 500 words as part as the start of the day is pretty good!

I calculated that if I need as much time for every story in my planned series as I did for this last one, I'd be 115 years old when it's complete. So I better hurry up a bit...

I am too busy, I think I will have to put off actual writing until I am fully moved -- at which time, I will be free to unpack or to write, whichever I prefer!

One album I return to often when I am stressed is Dan Gibson's Zen Relaxation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9XsTFaENA0).

I also like to listen to mynoise.net's Japanese Garden with the cicadas turned up loud!
