it's been a tough week, tbh. my hands hurt so much that i basically had to put myself on the equivalent of bed rest to let them recover. i'm seeing my doctor this week for something unrelated, so i'll be talking to him about that, but in the meantime: ow! my hands really fucking hurt!

since i haven't been able to play video games, i've instead been watching tv. i'm nearly finished with the pitt, which is a very realistic (and apparently quite accurate) medical drama. it's done in the style of 24 in that each episode is one consecutive hour of a shift in an ER, so it's got great continuity and character work. i'm not at all surprised it did so well at the emmys recently; it's a very good show. i've never really watched much in the way of medical dramas, so it's nice to have started the genre with something of this quality.

other than that i've just been reading a lot. i'm up to 10 books read for the year, which is nowhere close to my goal of 40 books, but is pretty good considering i read nothing until june. i'd like to try and hit 15 or 20 books read overall this year, so we'll see how i've done once december rolls around.

i think that's all for now.

Challenge 275
ONE MORE TRY

You’ve tried before, and it didn’t go well. Maybe something catastrophic went wrong, or maybe you just couldn’t quite pull it off. But whatever it is, it still needs to be done, and it’s your job to do it – so you need to give it one more try.

What are your characters trying to do? Why did they fail last time? Will they succeed this time, and what will it take?

Write a story about one more try.

BONUS GOAL: “Third time’s the charm.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, September 29 at 9:00PM EST.

my hands still really hurt, so i'll try to keep this entry short.

however, i finished my fic archive! i'm really happy with how it came out. i need to tweak a few things that have errors, but other than that it's in good shape. fic writing has always been part of fandom for me but not something i've really talked about on my websites until recently, so this is a little weird for me to make, but: in a web that's increasingly narrow, i think it's important to carve out little spaces like this.

also, i like writing behind-the-scenes content for fics, so there's that.

other than that, my hands have been in terrible shape so i've been offline a lot to rest. watched several movies over the past week, of varying quality, but nothing standout. i should really start on one of those shows that's been on my to-watch list while i'm icing my hands, but i haven't gotten around to it yet.

my brother's wedding is in two weeks! i am not in the wedding (thank god) but of course i'll be going. while stressful, i think i am looking forward to it; he's the first of my siblings to have a big wedding so it'll be an experience for sure.

that's all for now. on to next week!

I mentioned this on the Discord but I forgot to mention it here. My apologies.

Please DO NOT tag your posts when you submit them to this blog! One of the mods will take care of the tagging for you once your submission is approved, because I have to go into the tag editor to edit or merge tags that are done wrong and it's just a hassle.

Challenge 274:
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE

It wasn’t the end...but it sure was close.

For a lot of characters, close calls are pretty common – whether they’re fighting dragons, visiting aliens, or traveling through magic wastelands, they deal with a lot of dangers. But even then, actual near-death experiences are pretty rare.

What happened? Did your characters witness some kind of afterlife, or something else entirely, or nothing at all? How did they survive?

Write a story about a near-death experience.

BONUS GOAL: “Please, stay with me.”
