January 22, 2026

Posted on January 22, 2026January 22, 2026 by

Little victories:

  • I slept! For seven hours! Huzzah, we did not fall into the pit of endless insomniac despair for once.
  • I finished off writing the reallyreallyreallyreally rough draft of a whole scene in my book. That makes a total of three that badly need an edit. One of those three is actually only 85% done because I gave up on it last year and moved on. But that was last year.
  • I counted and I’ve written twenty pages so far this year! Considering that last year I only wrote fifty in total for the whole year, this isn’t half bad. Bits and pieces does work.
  • I don’t know if it was the good sleep or what, but at work today I finally felt like I was actually getting the hang of my new role. I’m starting to develop that eye-of-Sauron feeling, where I can gaze upon the whole of my new realm at work and see data that makes sense instead of just… numbers and colours and confusion. Soon it will be like reading a book.
  • The chickens did indeed say hello this morning. They’re such weird little dinosaurs and I love them.

    My communications/writing degree is a curse. Either I’m annoyed at people at work who can’t pass along vital data with any degree of competency or I’m getting into heated arguments about beloved (!!) fiction that nonetheless has a weaksauce narrative structure.

    I am plagued by both sides.

    Watched the first episode of Trigun: Stargaze and once again I was struck by an urge to sketch Zazie~

    A softly painted portrait of Zazie the Beast from Trigun, with insect mask on and one eye peering out from under its edge.

    Real talk: I’m actually impressed that I understand it all as quickly as I do. It’s just been so long that I’ve totally forgotten that you can FEEL when you grow a lot of new neural pathways all at once.

    And that I don’t immediately instil confidence because my learning style is hyper-cautious.

    Well I guess I did want to write more, I say, as I neglect reading, playing video games, and drawing in order to churn out over a thousand words in one weekday.

    To be fair, I'm also training on a new thing at work and Learning Mode has honed my ability to zone in on one thing.
