An update on my wee little coffee shop AU. It's been... I will admit that I haven't done much writing this week, but I have done... Some? ehe.

OWB interlude already saved as draft and ready to be posted on Monday. HYPE. I fucking love the interludes. They FEED my SOUL. *eagerly shovels angst down my gullet*

New OWB chapter is live. 💚

New OWB chapter is live. 💚

All of it is really to say that I don't think I'm posting on AO3 on Friday. Maybe someday I'll be back on my stuff but today isn't that day. I'm sorry and I love yas. 💚

Out of an abundance of caution, I will add that I'm okay, there's nothing to be concerned about, this isn't something I haven't experienced before and likely will also experience again.

When your mental health is so ambivalent that you just stare at the screen. I'm not even doom scrolling. I'm just... Breathing.

Even though I don't think I'll be posting anything new for my AO3 3 year anniversary today, I do have over 800,000 words posted on my account that you can still re/read in the meantime! I appreciate everyone that's read even five of those words. 💚

Hopefully next week is better. Xx I appreciate your patience and understanding during these trying times. 💚

Comrades, between the health stuff, the keyboard journey we took, and my brain just not wanting to function, I don't think we're getting an anniversary post today. I'm so sorry. I feel like I have to try and shift gears if I'm going to be able to post my OWB ch tomorrow. I'm so sorry y'all.

Fun fact: I find it easier to make beaded jewelry than type with a dislocated shoulder. Don't ask me how I know. In completely unrelated news: today's post will be later today if I can finish it at all. Please send me vibes to focus and heal, lol. 💚

BUT Thanks to having a replacement, I might actually be able to get something finished to post tomorrow. 🤞💚

And update on the keyboard saga! Random keys started failing yesterday while I was writing so I had to request a replacement. (Windows key wouldn't register at all, I tried swapping switches and nothing. Checked the solder, looked fine. No idea what the haps was. It was down hill from there.) Cont

SO! My weekend was *packed,* which was absolutely lovely but left me physically away from being able to write and then mentally not in the right place. All good things for me, not so much for OWB, however. I go to sit down to write and my keeb officially gave up. Which worked out- Sort of. (cont)

y'ALL I thought today was Friday. Besties, I missed the Genshin live. I missed everything. I thought I had time to finish this chapter. HOW DID I MISS A WHOLE DAY‽ WHAT HAVE I DONE DID‽ I have plans today, things and tasks to do. OH NO. EVERYTHING IS DERAILED.

New IFD one shot posted. 💚

Don't worry, comrade; I do still plan on posting today, I'm just a bit behind because I accidentally started writing my own... Something. I hesitate to call it a novel at this point, but I have started writing... Something. 💚

Just checked my calendar and it told me, gasp, that my birthday is next week *and* (more importantly) that my AO3 anniversary is the week after. That's... I have a lot of writing to do, y'all.

"You thought I was beautiful once, didn't you?" He can't help the question that falls from his lips, breaks the quiet. "Once?" The man scoffs, the question is rhetorical. "You have always been, will always be, beautiful." He turns away, can't look at the man that once saw him, that once knew him-

How mad would people be if I wrote another IFD oneshot that wasn't A/K/W centric? Or even K/W centered? What if I just... Went completely off the rails and wrote about ---

A keyboard saga update: I gave up on the replacement. I need my alt+ and my number pad. I unearthed my very old keeb (the one that recently failed was the replacement for this one) dismantled it completely and cleaned it. So far (fingers crossed) it is working.

#WIPSnips word of the day 11th April: "Milk" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Did my weekly shopping today and while I was out used my protection plan to get a very much needed new keyboard. It's a slightly different layout, so we will have to see how long it takes me to get used to typing on. 💚

New OWB chapter is live. 💚 I'm so sorry she's about 2K shorter than usual and over 12 hrs later than normal but... y'all this one was a struggle. I appreciate your understanding during these off times. 💚

Planning on finishing writing and posting the new OWB chapter later today but this abrupt sickness is really kicking my booty. I'm doing my best but I think my highest WPM today was 13; most in the single digits. All of this is to say that it's slow going but it *is* going. 💚

Guess who feels sicker today than yesterday- Me, it's me. We're having a good time. Bring on the TEA

Have I been sitting at my computer all day? Yes. Did I bring the kettle into my room and get tea delivered? Yes. Is it helping my brain be less foggy? Yes, to a degree. Have I written anything? ...

I'm not going to say that the map expansion completely ruined a future scene in one of my stories... I'm just... It's true, but I'm not gonna say it.

I should probably work on OWB though. Ehe.

Write a little coffee shop AU, they said. It'll be short, they said. Bestie... It's not. I don't even know what's happening. But we're having fun!

I have defeated my haunted arm, she's behaving again. Now I'm swimming in cold meds, hot tea, and a hope for a brighter tomorrow. Oh, also I'm writing. Ayyy.

I hope everyone is having a good day and that you're treating yourselves with the kindness and grace you would a friend. 💚

Bit of a weird one today, comrades. I can't quite feel my right hand or arm. Like, I am aware that it exists and it's technically listening to my brain but... It doesn't want to. IDK y'all.

Hydrated, caffeinated, representing the two series I've written that I'm the most normal about. 💚

So, I can't lie y'all. Been slacking a bit on writing this week because my bestie and the loml got me to try a new game and it has me in a chokehold BUT I did write this today! So that's something! Coffeeshop AU go brrr(plot)brrr...

New OWB chapter is live. 💚

NGL besties, my friends got me to play a new game and I have taken a slight break from writing to play it far too much. Will be writing again from today on, lmao. Forgive me! 💚

Please take care!!! Eat well!! Stay healthy!! Drink lots of water!!! Life is difficult and scary. It's valid to want to give up. But we have to keep going. As long as there is tomorrow, there will be a better day for yaoi!!!!

Ugh, instead of working on other fics, I did boring things like laundry and cleaning and taking a shower doing. Lame. BUT This does mean that tomorrow I am free to move about the cabin- Er... Free to write whatever strikes my fancy. Will it be and IFD oner that's hella overdue? Paradisaea? Café?

Whew, okay... OWB is written for Friday (I just need to read it over and edit/rewrite), but you know what that means? That means I can check on some of the other fics I've got cooking. Aw, yeah.

@memphismagpie.bsky.social Gonna be so honest with you, it is on hold for a bit while I try to write some OWB so it's ready for Friday's update, but it's still cooking. I'll keep you posted. 💚

I can't stop drinking cold brew. It's just so delightful.

Blaming @memphismagpie.bsky.social for this. Yet another dish cooking. WompWomp or Yay! depending on whom you ask. #WIP

What if I wrote a coffee shop AU? Such a unique idea that's literally never been done before. What if I just wrote one?

This feels like the most unhinged shit, I s2g; look at this ridiculousness.

New OWB chapter is live. 💚

Me, realizing I've written and posted over 30K words in less than a calendar week: Hmm... No, this seems fine.

New IFD one shot posted. 💚 [CyNari interlude]
