Hey everyone, Friday round-ups have been a while so I guess we can make this a full January round-up ^^

Anything fannish or fannish-adjacent you want to share about January? A cool project you started? Progress you're proud of? Something you're happy to have finished? A new discovery maybe?

Do you have plans for this weekend? (Or beyond?)

--

As for me... January was overall a slow month for fannish stuff but during the last days of December a friend over on Mastodon started posting daily, one-word prompts for small fancreations: microfics, doodles, and other things you can do in little time (you can find the prompts and fills with #FanPrompt if you have an account on something federating with Mastodon). And... I've done them all! Every single day! I never wrote microfiction before and I didn't expect to have so much fun with it, so that's a neat discovery ^^

Plans: aside from continuing with the microfics prompts, I have a more standard fic I should finish in the coming days, and I decided to try to challenge myself to write at least one sentence (outside of the microfics) per day. Even if that sentence ends up being one word. I want to see if the forced regularity is better for me than forced productivity (X words in a month). Suspense ^^

Ah! I missed this one. Okay, better late than never.

January was... a lot. (That seems to be the theme!)

But, I've actually started drawing more again and playing around with some original ideas. I've also been plotting out a few new fic threads for when I have energy again. It's nice to have the inspiration. Once I have the focus, I'll hopefully write a few of them out. :)

You're in the theme yeah =') It's nice that some spark of creativity could shine through it though, and I hope you get to a better situation soon!

On trend, as always. ;)

Thanks! Things are going a bit better now. It can take some time, but you've just got to be sure to take extra care of yourself when you've been going through it for a bit.

Honestly, I'm really excited to have the motivation to draw again. For years that was my passion and I think I just let the weight of how I thought I SHOULD be pursuing art kind of squash that for a long while. It's amazing how in your own head you can get.

As I've started to let that go I've been able to relax more and just enjoy myself again.
