The last four days, I have managed three short fics! I am so excite, y'all. It's nowhere near the output I used to have, but it's something, which is better than the nothing I've done for the last two years. It's nice to feel productive and like a writer again. All glory to the Old Guard for shaking it loose.
By the by, if you haven't watched The Old Guard on Netflix, I highly recommend it. It's got a diverse cast and was directed by a Black woman. It's got plenty of action, but at it's core, it's character driven. Despite having two beautiful women in it, it never sexualizes them. There's a cannon gay couple who are the cutest little murder husbands. There's plenty of gore, and some torture, but a refreshing lack of sexual violence. Did I mention the diverse cast? It's got that, too.
I took today off work, because I needed a mental health day. Of course, now I'm at loose ends. I may take a nap after our instacart order comes. We shall see.
Speaking of work, is it wrong that I hope the people they chose for the job are absolutely horrible at it? Cause I do, deep in my heart of hearts.
Jess kindly started cleaning out the little bedroom so I'll have an office. The hard part is putting together the IKEA desk. I may work for them, but I have no better insight into the instructions. I'm looking forward to being able to shut the door when my sister is home on Sundays. I've struggled with her level of interactiveness while I'm working. I get the feeling that her job is a little more social than mine is, and she tends to want to talk and show me shit from her twitter feed while I'm trying to do my job.
