tired and writing
Jun. 10th, 2025 09:47 amtielanBut that's because I woke up at 2:30am and then read a book until 5:30 and doomscrolled until 6:30. Then had a nap.
But it's lunchtime now, I have (mostly) survived the morning after a long weekend ("King's Birthday" long weekend), and I think I might end up skipping hockey training tonight because my knee has been feeling a bit weird the last couple of weeks and maybe I should go to the physio and get it checked out?
IDK. Maybe see how it holds up this weekend? We're already down one player that we're probably going to need...

iddyiddybangbang because I have a lot of exceedingly iddish stories that aren't going to get finished otherwise. I don't know if the creativity will come back, but I figure I should at least give it a go...
Now, the question of which story. Unfortunately most of the stories that I feel I want to finish and the ones that are half-done already. (Is the WIP Big Bang running this year? Anyone know?)
I know that I won't get many readers, I know that it's going to be something that not many people are going to read. I just want to get a few ideas out there.

Editing on the novel is going slowly; I just feel like it's boring and terrible and ugh. Which it might very well be. Are more dramatic things needed at this point? IDEK.
Writing on the new story is going to need at least one screen, preferably two. And a lot of editing. More ugh.

Friday Five - oh why not
Jun. 6th, 2025 03:23 pmtielan1. Have you ever been to summer camp?
No. But 'summer camp' is not a thing here in Australia the way it seems to have been in the USA. There were camps, yes, but they were very directly related to school - a week is the longest that I remember and I was 12. After that, it was school excusions, yes, or band camps, and a couple of times Beach Mission (yes, literally, Christian mission in the middle of summer at a beach).
2. Have you ever made a s'more?
Yes! Back visiting some friends in upstate NY in the early 2000s when their sons were just born. Her family had a holiday house on a lake and we went and stayed there, and they taught me about making s'mores.
3. Have you ever slept under the stars (no tent/tarp)?
Possibly, depending on how you take it. I've slept on a wooden porch, huddled up with a bunch of other people. We were doing an "all nighter" purely for the sake of doing it. It wasn't fun.
Actually, wait yes, I have slept under the stars. At a 'B&S' (Bachelors' and Spinsters' ball) out west, in the tray of a utility truck. We'd tossed a bunch of mattresses in, and there were about a half-dozen of us all sprawled out to sleep after the ball. It wasn't terrible. We were young, and that makes a difference!
4. Have you ever had a member of the opposite sex sleep over at your house?
Only after I became an adult. House-sharing in Sydney means you have housemates who have all sorts of people staying over.
5. What type of bed do you have (queen, twin, bunk, etc.)?
Twin. I had a queen-size at our last house (and had a queen-size pretty much since I was 24) but when we moved out into this place, there wasn't space for a queen-sized bed, so I downsized to an IKEA twin with an under-bed storage space. And, as it turns out, the queen-mattress fitted sheets fit on the twin-size when you have a super-thick mattress.
