Show of hands, because I need to know I'm not alone:

Are you the type of neurodivergent that gets irrationally angry when you've started a task and then something happens that you have to address/go do, that interrupts task #1, and in doing so just sends you spiralling; ruins your day, ends up being just one thing too much?

Doing The Thing

Whoooooo... well, it's been a while since I last wrote anything here, so allow me to kinda reintroduce myself here on my blog for anyone who actually still follows me or cares. After multiple reincarnations and evolutions and maturing into what I want to be here, I've been looking to push myself to do the thing more and more. I say "do the thing" in reference to a poem I heard, and it stuck with me. "The only thing that's doing the thing is doing the thing." I've written a number of stories for individuals over the years, but they remain tucked away on Google docs. That's lovely because I can choose who has access, but that's hardly being a writer if only 3 people actually read my stories. Well, I'm gonna try to do the thing now, and whether I'll be successful or not, time will tell. I'm making this a public post here because I want some level of accountability, and saying this here will hopefully do that for me.

@ellaenchanting has over the past 4-5 years put out whole collections of writing and recordings every November time, and I wanted to follow in her footsteps. Below are simply all of her prompts during her HYPNOvembers (organized in an excel spreadsheet because I'm a geek that way), and I encourage anyone interested in writing on their own to take a look at her prompts, and potentially attempt to do a little writing yourself as well. Do the thing.

I'm going to attempt to do the thing, and maybe afterward, if I've got a decent library of stories, maybe I'll put them up somewhere. I'm unsure of the next steps after I do the thing, but first off, I need to do the thing. I've got friends to keep me accountable, and I've got 22+ stories on the docket to get through, so hopefully, I can accomplish SOMETHING.

Poem about doing the thing below the break.

Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing.

Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

Fantasizing about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading this essay isn't doing the thing.

The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.

My utter uncertainty about what the hell I'm doing, did not stop me from trying. But perhaps it should have.

Sneak Peak WIP- Hanahaki Soulmate Gojo one shot

Apparently my writing brain works right now if it's gonna be an angst heavy piece... right now I can't force myself to fit in the grooves I usually do. So I'm just gonna try and ride this as a way to distract myself.

---

Soulmates. It used to be a word; an idyllic sentiment of love people reached for when they were romantics. Until suddenly it wasn’t, until suddenly it was a very real concept. You weren’t sure what caused it, that came before your generation. But just like everything else it broke the concept of what humans perceived as reality, even people like yourself. Jujutsu sorcerers who were used to the abnormal.

Even now, no one really knew how some people didn’t have soulmates, how some people did, and how it all worked. What created the red string of fate that connected those lucky two people together. You would never understand it, considering you weren’t exactly faith based. Yet the thought that someone was out there for you, a perfect piece for your puzzle, was fascinating.

my art vs artist for 2023

This was a year of survival doodling and block print experimenting. I hope to go further with these things, but also settle a bit as an artist, so I can start using skills I’ve picked up to make the art that makes me grow

A character is what happens when a piece of you breaks off with its mouth still attached.

Ok the script is mostly done. Mostly. Idk why it’s taking me ages even tho it’s not hard I’m just distracted I guess. But the good news it’s the second part. The bad news is I think I have 2 more to go before I can call the series complete. At least.

Maybe. My last one shot started off as a joke and now I’m in the middle of world building and it’s a whole thing….

@ejunkiet and @pinksparkl I’m doing it I promise!
