Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a great holiday week. I spent mine alone. I just signed an offer letter for a new job and am finally getting out of a super abusive and toxic work environment. I think that'll help me be more active with writing and reading again. I missed this site and thought about it daily but I have just been so... heh. |
Do you ever just struggle to get the motivation to do anything? I want to read and write on the site here and yet I've just been struggling to do anything and have not ended up being very active or social. :/ |
Hey, Kit, you've only been here a week, so don't break out the self-scourging paraphernalia just yet. Life happens and nobody's going to shut down your account, just because you haven't been able to be as active, so far, as you've wanted. Stay safe and just give yourself time to work out whatever's happening with you. There's absolutely no rush. Best wishes. |
Just teasing you, but am definitely glad you're doing well enough to be home.
Are you doing "October Novel Prep Challenge" this year? Or are you just going to be on the official site?
I think I might try and do the prep challenge even though I fail every time. I'll probably look it over tomorrow night and think about it.
If you aren't familiar with them, you can adopt anything, even if it's already been adopted tons of times before. And you can also donate your own ideas for others to adopt. Be sure to think broadly when reading the threads. It might be a kids' themed idea posted, but perhaps you can change it to your own benefit for your story. Just because you adopt something doesn't mean you are using it as is...or at all. It's my favorite section!
