Here I am with my auDHD causing me to be upset for expectations set and not met. Yet again. :/ Pardon my internal meltdown.

I am 5k in the Arcane Guide manuscript and I'm trying not to look at my ugly first draft, but continue writing and IT IS HARD! I'll be writing FMC's first day at work tonight though, so I'm very excited!

I may be behind but I did a sprint of 753 words in 45 mins. Two more sprints to come!! #amwriting

It's my birthday and I'm not feeling it. :/ It's just been a terrible year and although 2026 is looking up, we're not there yet. Send memes <3

I forgot to cancel a subscription and now I've paid another 7.99 for a streaming service I do not want. :'(

Every now and again I get really overwhelmed by all the things happening in the world and I wonder what's the point. But not in my usual existencial way.

Second coat of paint is done. Waiting for it to dry and we should be good for setting up the desk again

I have this little nook in my room that is the perfect spot for my desk and I've been meaning to paint it for the longest time, but kept putting it off because, well, ADHD task paralysis. I HAVE FINALLY PAINTED THE NOOK!!!! Photos after I do the second coat/tomorrow.

#sheith #keithkogane #shiro #vld I made prints of this for a con and I had the foresight to only make 4 or something ridiculous like that, and they were bought out in 5 minutes. I just really thought no one would want them 🥲

genAI is dying repost to make it die faster

Last night I downloaded the Solasta II demo and I'm happy to say that it's very promising indeed.

I got a copy of the @illumicrate.bsky.social's special Jane Austen collection and I can't wait to get these gorgeous books up on my shelf.

I have been 100% distracted from editing the manuscript I should to writing the cosy fantasy that has lived in my head since the Cymera Writers' Conference (so it's been about 3 months). This could go either way.

I got the post-con flu (this is my fault for not getting my flu jab when due for the first time in 6 years) and I'm still recovering, but World Fantasy Con was such a great time.

The travel to Brighton for @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social is long, but I can’t wait. Currently in Durham. Stepped out of the coach and my knees are stiff af.

IT'S KEEF DAY!! #sheith

Oh to play Baldur’s Gate without it crashing at the worse moments!!!

Plans for the long 4 day weekend :D * house chores * bookshelf sorting (again) * iron on patches on sff skirt project * finish (?) bg3 * outline prequel short story * worldbuild secret project idea

I’m trying to finish act three of baldur’s gate 3 and it’s not going great but Gortash is no more!

Today I submitted my first (actually finished) short story to a competition. It's not the best thing I've ever written, but it's my first complete original piece, so I'm proud of it regardless.

I'm going to start making some sci-fi and fantasy book inspired embroidery hoop art. I'm open to ideas/commissions. I, also, embroider shoes and possibly other garments.

Had a trial for a new job today and I'd love it, but I won't know until next week and the wait is going to kill me!

Suddenly really excited about World Fantasy. It'll be my first year going. Travel booked to go as well as accommodation.

🐈‍⬛🤍

I feel like I'm in a corner and I will be greatly judged about what I'd like to do (re: day job) because I'm either proving people right or I'll be considered flaky, but I really need to talk to someone about it cause I don't know if I'm going to make another mistake and 2025 has been a mess so far

1000 words couldn't say to you

Last Sunday I injured my shoulder at work and now I am missing work because I literally cannot do my job if I can't use my arm (and it really hurts) and my brain is catastrophizing really bad.

Here I am doing an autism awareness course for my new job… it’s hitting the spot

This is the first care job where I actually have a break and it’s so weird.

I cooked not one, but two Korean banchan today. Potato salad and gamja jorim. Neither of which was very difficult or took a long time. Next time it'll be sigeumchi namul and dubu jorim. Please tell me your favourite banchan recipes!!!

Watch me get a decent grade on something that isn't a foreign language for the second time in my life (the first being my nvq 3)

I have been writing on this svq document for so long I feel all these points keep increasing despite me answering more and more of them...

Two stunning winners ✨🥇

It's my last week at my current workplace and to be honest every day is so much harder. I'll miss so many things, but I'm also constantly reminded of thing I will not miss... It's time for a new chapter though.

Watch me finish my SVQ 3 in less than two weeks! HAHAHHAHAHAA

Major migraine today and I just managed to lift my head from the pillow. Might try to be productive for a bit.
