writing in lapslock because, well, i'm trying not to take myself seriously for once. ironic, i guess, given how it's titled.

well, here's an accountability post, mainly for myself, and maybe if someone is interested in one of the below, they can egg me into writing a specific piece first. i'm trying to keep it chill this year, with grad school soon. more academia! yay!

post wise, i've got my "books read in 2024 post" sitting in my scrivener. i tried to keep it short for every single book i read, but it's not really working. i'll get back to it when i return to the states. i've also got my thinkpiece on how edited mtl is killing art, though i'm having trouble framing certain things. i should also start book reviewing seriously, but i never seem to have the energy to do it. it's either i do and i'm proud of what i do, or i don't because i know i won't be putting out good work. i'll do better and try to find a weekly timeslot for that. as for what i want to write, too many pieces on dojae, a psychoanalysis of the jisung/sion awsaz series, my jaemin awakening, and a summary of the c-dramas i watched last year. i had a fic goals one, but am not really focusing on that, which i'll … get to why.

i have always had major commitment issues, so the longest fic i ever wrote was my 00ff r2 fic, which was … 35k? or something. i wrote the bulk of it in two sittings by riding off the adrenaline of staying up. that being said, the two fics i definitely want to post this year are my jaemrenyang (pwp or m, i haven't decided because i'm not an experienced porn writer if i'm gonna be honest) and dojae jazzbar piece. everything else is up to god. jk. my main focus outside of these two short pieces is my diaspora dojae, which has 33 parts. and each part is … long. i'll be reworking it with alek once i get an actual outline done. other than that, maybe a ningrina b/c i think i flopped my first one too hard.

and then … my translation baby, burn. i don't really want to get into detail about why i've not touched it for so long, but my new goal is to work on about 1k/2 pages (a page being whatever fills up the left side of my monitor) every weekday, then focus on editing on weekends. i'm not particularly interested in trying to do more or translate all day. i can only do so much before the quality of the words i'm spitting out starts deteriorating, and that just requires more work on my end. this only applies to translation though. besides, i'm back to coding and studying MATH, along internship stuff soooooo yeah. i've got to hit a balance of sorts.

see y'all in april, hopefully
