@MyFinalEdits: That would be funny to see. tongue

Speaking of videos, it feels like it’s been a long while since I did this last. On my days off, I like to watch YouTube videos that have to do with Walt Disney World, especially the Princesses, while having breakfast. It starts my day right. grincool[tup]

Is there a reason that writers go through a period of downtime no matter how much they don't want to?

I guess real life has gotten in the way of the creative process. It always seems to do that.

Even so, it doesn't stop me from being restless, seeing the rest of my fandom friends/acquaintances write while I'm sitting on the bench.

It seems to me like they never slow down.

Writers' block is unfortunately a common problem. I myself suffered it badly when I tried to write a story, and eventually gave up (then TV Tropes made me realize that nothing in said story was groundbreaking anyway T_T).

[up] I could tell you that no idea is completely original. But it's the way you do it, that ends up being unique to you and your life experience.

At the moment it's not the content of my ideas that slows me down. I am just tired because of my life outside of fandom and I don't have the actual physical and mental energy I need to create.

Making a blank page into something is hard work, even if we do it for our own personal enjoyment of our favorite characters and media.

If PETA protested those Italian cannibal movies from the '70s and '80s, I'd be on their side.

I'm on quite the fantasy streak today. :) First I promoted my books at Half-Price Books again, then I watched some more Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight during dinner (-talks like Michael Palin when he was the King of Swamp Castle- and no Second Part! tongue), and now I'm watching a documentary about the Dragon Age games. cool

By great Freya's bouncing tits, I slayed Malenia, Blade of Miquella in Elden Ring today. I channeled my Scottish blood and killed her via Claymore.

I still remember that. One of the Arc Villains in Black Clover said “despair” so many times, it’d probably be safer to make a drinking contest out of it using hot cocoa. tongue

God you had to mention those when I know I'm watching an anime that has characters literally called: Lust, Envy and Glutton. Plus two of them have already met Edward Elric, so far for me anyway.

I’m watching the Batman: The Animated Series episode “Off Balance,” and the episode’s beginning has the Statue of Liberty. So is Gotham City in New York or New Jersey?

Depends on the writer, but it's usually New Jersey.
