So, tell me, what is on your mind at the moment?

True, though I gave up and let go…for now.

I AM DECLARING WAR ON ARTS COUNCIL ENGLAND. They just shut down a very important organisation — a lifeline for creatives in my city because of their lack of funding/ giving a damn about the Southwest :rage:

Like excuse me?? This organisation was doing good work for 5 years (throughout lockdown and beyond) supporting writers and theatre-makers in my city and surrounding areas. It wasn’t some CIC run by nepo babies for a tax write-off or whatever… it was for the People by the People, and the output has been significant!!

Just in February their work (which I contributed to) was added to the active archives of the museum as part of queer history and writings in the city. We were able to hold our first ever Fringe festival last year with their support, and they’ve organised lectures and workshops for writers and the public for years… not to mention the massive poets residency at the theatre.

It’s very sad and I am raging, and I don’t know what to do :disappointed:

Update: I’ve heard whispers as to why they’ve cut off funding… wow… let’s just say I didn’t realise we lived in a totalitarian regime. This is war indeed :rage:

Okay, that is cool.

This live version of “I Will Follow” by U2 might be better than the already-great original.

Breakfast.

Update: I want a writing shed! Yet that would require a house with a large backyard. Overall, I need money for something like that. Oh well, it was nice to dream.

I believe there are WAY more hardcore fans than casual fans and people just coming into the fanbase in the most popular of fandoms.

Those hardcore fan that eat, sleep, and breath whatever they are consuming to an absurd level.

I should know because I am one and sometimes I hate myself for it.

It’s weird then that you don’t like writing fanfiction, or maybe writing original fiction inspired by your favorite fandoms…? ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯

I mean extreme fans tend to push casual fans and new fans away sometimes with their insane love and experience with whatever they consume.

Extreme fans are just bonkers that it scares even me, a hardcore fan.

If you want motivation to start your zero mortals plan, you should see how the extreme parts of the voltron fandom harassed the voice actors and crew. Mostly over shipping.

Shipping fandoms are horrible and the absolute worst in my eyes. I won’t change my opinion on that ever.

I’m glad I got the hell out of there. Along with the fact I was never as interested as everyone else, I just went the flow.

I. Am. So. Exhausted. :weary:

I have to stop writing the part 1, chapter 2 of Project Summoner! My body is aching!

I sat way too long.

Update: I finished at 4012 words!

I had to go back to the start to understand what the heck was going on. Mama survived.
