on another world by another star at another place and time

Another year, another attempt at using this journal. I still don't have a precise idea as to what this journal should be for. Not too much has changed since my last post like this -- my life is still mostly eventless; I'm not sure if I feel like writing monthly highlights; most of my musings end up in the paper journal (or that's the goal, I'm trying to write 'morning pages' but the morning part proves very difficult). Some things have changed completely: I finished my detested thesis and graduated, for one. I got involved in the Critical Role Translate project. I started playing D&D and took up knitting and might not get discouraged by not being perfect at it after first try.

( New Year, New Old Me. )

I'm taking procrastination to another level today, so I thought that while I'm procrastinating one thing (MA thesis research & exam revision), I could at least do another thing I've been procrastinating (a new post on this journal). So here we are.

I'm still alive. I still don't know what I want to do with this journal. I don't feel like writing too much about personal stuff because I already do that in my super private paper journal. I don't feel like writing too much about my daily life and plans because a) nothing interesting/exciting ever happens to me (+ I already cover that in the paper journal), b) I'd rather not talk about my plans until everything's said and done, just in case. And I don't think it's all that important that I make those Favourite Whatever This Week/Month lists because honestly? Who cares? I mean, I'll enjoy the thing whether or not I write ten posts about it, so. And I track all my habits/goals in my bullet journal.

So what do I have left? Well, I thought I could make some writing updates so I can trick myself into thinking that shouting into the Internet Void is equivalent to keeping myself accountable. And if I read something interesting and listen to something cool, I might mention that, too. I don't know. We'll see. For all I know, I might give up on that, too, next week and fade back into radio silence for another six months.

( And here's my first writing update of 2k18. Yay! )
