Moonlight Musings

As I work through looking through my old files, I’m finding a lot of stuff I completely forgot I wrote fic adjacent stuff for. Generally I tend to write and complete on average more one shots in short fic format or vignettes. I’m also a prompter and idea generator, lately I’ve been trying to get into solo RP which explains why there’s so much floating dialogue. Most things here will be rated G to T if I ever finish up. I think the reason I mostly go with one shots is because I personally hate reading a good story that ends off on a cliffhanger. I’ve seen far too many of those on FF.net to count.

I think when I do monthly check ins I’ll start posting everything so my new deadline at the moment is Jan 31st. 

Can you believe it? The new year’s is here!

I’ve already written about it a bit on my neocities journal page and updated my goals list, but as for publishing, my major goal at the moment is finding a nice shiny new app or going back to an old one for the sake of my writing. I had such a nice notion dashboard I completely abandoned once notion started up it’s own machine learning thing and google docs are like the defacto “it’s reading your writing” thing so despite the fact that it doesn’t have cross compatibility in the slightest I’m switching back to obsidian.

This will probably work out better in the long run if I just have all my stuff on a single device and then figure out the issue of syncing up later on, you know? My issue is more of an issue of switching between so many different devices carrying so many concepts and juggling them all in a way that isn’t exactly the most useful sort of thing. Too busy looking at the leaves of the tree versus the actual damn tree.



Any WIPs in mind?
Not exactly. I had a few I’ve posted about here, but everything’s being put on the back burner as I go through this file dump of getting all my notes sorted through and then getting them off my computer so I can have them on my tablet because I’ve pretty much made this thing my default laptop at this point. Sorry, computer! Sorry, WIPs! Writing Winter’s all about me looking through everything I’ve made from middle to high school to college and figuring out what’s salvageable and what’s going straight into an ideas prompt page! I do want to write transformers fanfiction at some point but I don’t know the units of time and they scare me. Anything else? I made an OC page on neocities but it’s pretty barebones at the moment. I’m probably making my microblog thing on there a biweekly sort of thing instead of daily. I really want my priority this year to be actually creating things and having fun versus always saying “I’ll do it when I can” the stars will never align, I just gotta do it!

Alright, it’s been an hour, taking a briefing. I’m the type to always say they’ll use the pomodoro timer and then never do it but this time actually worked pretty well unlike all my attempts through college or word sprints… I already mentioned this once before but speedrunning the writing process is not it. Anyways, here’s my current writing winter agenda if anyone’s curious: I already found a ton of story concepts/docs/files on my hard drive and various flash drives ranging from a very long time that I would love to make into actual stories or comics rather than just outlines. The problem is that a lot of that would require cross compatible devices since I write on everything but my computer these days which leads into the problem that I was having with the multiplying plot bunnies: everything I’ve written for a few years has mostly been through my notes apps and everything I was using prior to the notes apps got saddled with Machine Learning companions. Like I used notion for a while for FF14? Can’t do that. I barely even use it for my online classes either. I will continue doing what I’m doing with herding plot bunnies and getting them off my standard notes app because it was basically the same thing as using a notes app anyways. 

Monthly check in! I’m still watching transformers stuff. My Megaman idea is still there but I’m making it OC based on the dos games.

In terms of neocities, I’m doing a monthly maintenance thing where more or less I had the great idea (sarcasm) to make a splash page meaning I have to reupdate the entire site again. Terrible idea, I have to revise everything again.

So much to do, so little time. I wanna finish that up and then not worry about the site again! I was supposed to be done in September...
