January 5, 2026

Posted on January 5, 2026January 5, 2026 by

Oh! The date! Dang. I forgot to say happy birthday to my brother. 🤦 Thing to fix for tomorrow.

Today was back to work. It went okay! I have hope.

Writing is getting easier! I actually didn’t want to stop tonight, but the clock forced me to. I’m still procrastinating before starting, though, and I regret that it took me so long to begin. (Does that ever like, fully stop, though? I think all writers look around for household chores to do when the blinking cursor is intimidating).

I also doodled a Henry that looks like a stickbug in my sketchbook and then inked it, because that’s what we’re committing ourselves to in 2026.

Did you know: Henrys is bugs (like shrimps).

There may be fewer entries here now, but I’ll continue with the daily doodles. I think I’ve made friends with this journal and now I don’t have to keep touching it to make sure it exists.

    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.
