I said I'd write my fanfic and instead I made this what are my priorities...

[snapeaddict]

So as I am busy - or rather should be busy - drafting my dissertation, planning a research proposal for my master’s applications and writing God knows how many personal statements, I’ve of course thought it was urgent to start rewriting my fics. 

Anyway that one underwent significant change and is angsty (Albus & Severus): 

That wee one’s just in decent English now, and I need to work on the last chapter of A Small Respite but the first three chapters are also in decent English (Severus & Minerva). Update: last chapter completed. Enjoy!

Sometimes your discord status fits you just too well. Cause I’ve had the same status for a long time and I’ve been putting off changing it for another long time.

It's amazing how much I can get done when I've got something that I don't want to do.

I don't get the thing I need to get done finished but my bathroom is spotless, I'm decorated for Christmas, and I vacuumed the entire house.

It's nanowrimo, I'm like 8K words behind and I have a bunch of housework to do, so I finally sat down and fixed my blog layout.

[sneaky-snail]

No one else has written it (I don’t think) and the Crow Strider Epilogues aren’t out yet, so I’m gonna write an au where the homestuck characters meet the hiveswap characters.

After I make literally any progress on my fancomic, of course.

Doing my quarterly freak out because all the times I put off work documentation as a problem for future me has caught up with me.

I am future me. I am suffering the consequences.

I will continue to learn nothing from this miserable experience.

read 60% of Ivanhoe and now there are at least two chapters full of ~merry england and robin hood shenanigans (boring!) so i'm gonna backtrack and read the notes i took for the previous chapters

how to brain dump like a pro

what you need

a messy notebook (I like the Leuchturm bullet ones)

a pen

a beverage for emotional support (or several <3)

how to get started

grab your notebook, and sit down in a quiet moment with enough time so you won't stress even more. The point of a brain dump is to unload all your thoughts, everything that is stressing you is put to paper. not aesthetically, no cutesy Pinterest vibes; we need it plain, unromanticised, and personal.

some prompts to get you going

do I have any deadlines coming up?

have I been making time for myself and my hobbies?

what projects, tasks, appointments, and/ or plans are currently stressing me out?

am I procrastinating anything?

am I properly looking after myself? (mental/physical health, skincare, hobbies, school/work, etc etc)

am I currently working through any challenges, and if yes how is that going so far?

how are my friends/relationships doing?

is there an area in my life that I should prioritise right now?

do I feel confident and comfortable at the moment?

Review and reflect

take some time and go over your writing; you can underline or highlight the points that you find most important. make this whole "brain dump" thing a routine; sometimes it takes a bit of writing until you actually get comfortable with putting your emotions onto paper (it sounds easier than it is..), but the more often you do this, the more comfortable you will get!! <3

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments! <3
