i missed my first daily journal entry yesterday ahhhhhhhh. well. here's my penance i suppose.

life updates: the semester has started and life is kind of crazy! a ballroom competition is coming up in a couple of weeks and it feels like there’s so much to manage right now ugh.

writing updates: uh oh i started a new fic. i think i just need to finish something rough just to finish something. it's hard because the more i write, the more i learn what i don't know how to do (as with any skill) and i get stuck feeling incapable of executing the ideas i have.

that aside, i am happy with some of the progress i've made; writing my first draft felt like trying to speak a foreign language: slow, stilted, and with an unnecessary amount of embarrassment involved.

i'm still not quite past the point where i can read things i've written without flinching every other sentence but well. we persevere.
