I've just signed for mini_wrimo. I haven't written a thing since the holiday challenges last year, so it's a bit daunting. But, I do love mini wrimo. It's a low-pressure challenge which suits me perfectly. Though I have no idea what I'm actually going to write. If there are no holiday challenges on the go I may have to poke at my Musketeers Space AU that's been ongoing for years now. The comm is taking new sign-ups until November 8th, so if you need a kick up the ass to get writing again, too. Maybe consider the challenge.

It's been a long day. We had to take our car in for more repairs today. These were old ones that were scheduled before the shunt, but got pushed back when the more serious damage happened. So, we got Jaffa back last week, and today she was back in getting new window wipers, exhaust and brake pads. We dropped her off at 8:30 and grabbed a taxi into town where we had a mooch for most of the morning. After picking her up we visited my MiL because she's been ill lately. She phoned our house phone and left a message early morning two days ago, which freaked me out a bit as no one uses the landline now and waking up to hearing the answer phone beep always makes me think of bad things.

Once we got home I carved the quickest and most basic pumpkin ever, have a bowl of sweets ready and am now sitting to see if anyone turns up. We usually get a few little groups of neighbourhood kids, and if not, well, James will be eating chocolate for a while. Plus, pumpkin soup will be getting made tomorrow which is of the good.

It was shoulder group yesterday. We get a week off next week as the main physio is going on a course. Just as I was leaving he said he thought I was ready for more intense mat work next time, and I mean, what? Intense mat work. He's only supposed to be helping my shoulder. I do still like the class, though. Even with potential intense mat work.

Finally, in the last week I've read all the no_tags stories for this round. There were only a few, but I enjoyed every one.

I think I signed up for miniwrimo as well. In any case, I'm doing a version of nanowrimo alongside a few folks from Discord. My goal is less ambitious than 50k but I'm hopeful. Even set up my Pacemaker so I know how many words I gotta write per day. [Crossing fingers emoji]

BTW, I saw this post roll on my reading list. It's deffo relevant to your interests. ;)

ETA: I found this other fic while scrolling this author's AO3. They write Stucky, Stony, Clint/Coulson and this one:

That's great. It'll be lovely to see more work from you. I've gone for a minuscule 100 words a day, just easing myself back into things. Which is just as well as when I dusted off Gdocs I saw I hadn't looked at any file in nearly 12 months /o\

What are you planning on writing? Or is it secret just now? Whatever it is. *cheers you on*

You are the best ever. Thank you for those links. I've just tabbed them all, and know what I'll be doing tonight. After my 100 words.... I hope *g*

I really need to update my icons, already.

Awww, thank you. I have written a couple of things this year. Tho it hasn't been until lately that I've gotten my resolve!face to get at least two more stories done.

I am tackling 2 things:
- a Steve/Thor [redacted] first draft for MCU Kink Big Bang. It's not due until January but I rather work on that now

- a Sam/[Redacted] fic for one of the MCU big bangs. This one is less of an urgent thing but it's one that I've been thinking of for, like, two years?

Do you have any plans as to what you are going to write? *Chinhands*

Also, LOL, you're welcome. It's been kismet, really. ;)

Oh, and yeah, I keep thinking of sorting thru my icons and, most possibly, changing my default. *Pours one out*

I pondered mini_Wrimo, but the writing every day thing is probably super ambitious this year.

AHahah, we had no kids, so all the chocolate is mine. I feel James' pain. *g*

Well, I've only gone for 100 words a day. I figure I can manage that at least. Though looking at gdocs I haven't even edited or opened a new file in nearly a year, which is worse than I thought. So 100 words it was.

But saying that, I'm not doing nearly as much as you so it's understandable you haven't joined.

We had no kids either. Well, we did but James had gone to scouts and I'd gone in the bath so they were out of luck. I waited until 7, that was long enough.

Challenges definitely help with writing motivation! I hope you have fun with whatever you decide to work on.

Intense mat work! Starting to sound like a martial art almost.

Well, I was a little adrift with MTYG ending and seemingly no bandom challenges happening this year. But it seems bandom may be on, so, fingers crossed.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of that was included. The guy running the class is really good at what he does, and is excellent at adapting the exercises considering he's got such a big range of abilities in terms of movement and health within the people attending.

Lots of good luck with mini wrimo!!

Intense mat work sounds scary! Or possibly slightly naughty :-)

Sadly with losing my internet for so long mini nano failed completely this year.

I'm sticking with intense mat work being scary!
