With a chill setting in outside, Jadon had left the candy on the steps of the cottage and rolled himself back inside. He took his time to get cleaned up and into bed in nothing but his boxer briefs. Periodically checking his phone for texts from Liana and only getting more frustrated and amused as the played their little game, Jadon had decided he’d had enough, gunshot wounds and doctor’s best advice be damned he’d manage to enjoy some aspect of his life now that he’d gotten it back. “Laina Violetta Romano, get your ass back home. I hope you made it to twelve. I’m still holding you accountable if you didn’t.” He cringed as the muscles of his stomach tensed from laughter, and his gaze moved down to the fresh bandage covering his stitches before trailing his eyes down to the wound in his calf. Slowly pointing and flexing his foot he swallowed down at the sting of pain in that little gesture too. It almost tempted him to text Liana that he was joking, almost. Picking up the novel from the nightstand and putting on his favorite playlist, he ignored all texts and waited for the sound of the cottage door to open. He didn’t look up until he’d finished his page, drinking in his sub in all her beauty in the costume. “Hi pretty girl. How many was it then?”

What I’m Watching April 2021

A quick review of what I’m watching right now. 

SPACE SWEEPERS From: Korea Airing On: Netflix Description: After losing his daughter a former Not-A-Stormtrooper-Please-Don’t-Sue-Us-Disney winds up collecting space trash with a misfit crew of angry, damaged people (and a robot)... and then a kid who is being hunted by an angry white man shows up and teaches them the meaning Ohana. 

My Thoughts: Wait... that wasn’t the plot? There was something about white male privilege and corporations destroying the planet and unions = good? I vaguely remember that. 

The storyline is very basic and simple because they were aiming for a large, international audience and I respect that. It has pretty colors, the underdog wins, and lots of things explode. 

I liked it. 

THE LONG BALLAD From: China Airing On: Viki  Description: Princess of a murdered family dresses as a man and commits treason against her evil uncle to get revenge (not to be confused with RIVER WHERE THE MOON RISES where the princess of a murdered family becomes an assassin and plots revenge). Also... young hot dude with braids and good soccer skills. This is plot relevant. 

My Thoughts: Love it! 

I’m a fan of Dilraba and have been planning to watch it. I binged all the episodes that were out and I will binge again. I would have cast someone slightly older for Dilraba’s love interest, but it’s fine. No one asked me (If someone at Tencent Video wants to involve me in the hiring process I would do that for cheap. Please call me). 

There’s fight scenes, palace intrigue, buildings burning down, and a ball game that involves flying braids and significant glances around masks. I haven’t read the manhua so I have no opinions going into this, if you’ve read the manhua I’ve gathered from the comments that you need to brace for adaptation. 

Overall... I don’t know if I’ll get any of my ships to sail but I will enjoy this while it airs.

I'm embroidering a garden apron for an avid gardener. So far the sage and yarrow are done.

I did five hours of embroidery tonight and another 60-90 minutes earlier to hem the shorts and embroider the brown vine. Which means I'm averaging 5.5 hours per pant leg for a very simple piece of embroidery.

When people talk about how sewing wasn't important in pre-industrial cultures, or that embroidery was boring "women's work" they are missing the fact that it takes DAYS to make even a simple piece of clothing. To make something beautiful and sturdy took weeks of work, not counting the harvesting the fibers, the spinning, weaving, and dying of the cloth, and the needle making.

Making clothing was a labor-intensive task.

Making beautiful clothing required a ton of labor and hours just for the simple stuff. For the elegant clothes worn by the elite you're looking at weeks - sometimes years - of work. It wasn't a silly past time for boring girls to death, it was a way of keeping people from freezing to death and showing their wealth and skill through fiber art.

One Fear - The Doom At Your Service Edition

LINK TO TWITTER THREAD

I saw this on Twitter and, basically, the theory is that Dong Kyung is already dead. Ji Na writes based off people she knows so she is writing the story of DK, her best friend who died, and a love affair with this tragic Doom character.

What bothers me about this is there are some solid clues for this being the case: - the inception reference - Ji Na is getting the love triangle like a main character - there's already talk of stories inside stories - the creator goddess keeps talking about resets, just like Ji Na - the creator doesn't know what she planted, Ji Na doesn't know what she's writing with Joo Ik, it's a new story

A part of me would love to see that layer of meta.

The rest of me doesn't want an ending that leaves me sad. I don't want another tragedy. I want an ending like It's Okay To Not Be Okay.

LIFE HACKS - Workarounds for Writing with ADHD (or any other distraction)

Getting Around Executive Function Malfunction - Make a to-do list - Number it - Random.org - set a timer for a number you like (I like primes so I do 17 or 31 or something) - do the task until A) the timer goes off or B) you are able to focus on it

Getting Around Not Wanting To Work - Have multiple projects going so you can procrastinate one by working on another - Reward yourself for progress... I like stickers so I have a sticker calendar. 1 sticker per X number of words written or 1 sticker per task

Getting Around Plotting Being Boring - Figure out your villains - Plan four plot twists - Make a list of scenes you really want to write so you can work towards them - Write the scenes you can think of first - Copy and Paste into a Frakendraft - Fill in bridge scenes where needed - You can also pants your way through, that works for some people, but I get frustrated rewriting and doing six drafts of edits because I meandered through the book so I'm a planster. - HERE is a beat sheet if you want one

Getting Around Time Blindness - Set a timer - Make a play list as long as the time you need to write/work/plot/ect and listen to it until it is done (this is good for setting your brain up to remember where it is because that playlist = that book and you can work until the last song). - Alarms on your phone to break your concentration when you get hyperfocused but need to do things like eat, sleep, parent, walk the dog, ect.

Getting Around Object Permanence and Memory Issues - Post-it Notes! Your to-do list, your notes for writing, your goals for the week, your motivational quotes... put them on notes in front of your writing space where you can see them. - Plot your book with post-it notes and put on a whiteboard. Take the whiteboard out when you are working, put it away when you are not. - HERE is a video of me in my pjs with my best friend plotting out her book with post-it notes so you can see how I do it.
