BAG post January 2020

[meridian_rose]

The year started off fine but then things fell apart a bit. I've been struggling and my goal of levelling up has been difficult because I've been trying to keep on top of just being kind to myself.

I'm not sure being kind is making things go quicker but it's probably helping me not feel worse. I've been trying to do the very basics and put aside things that aren't necessary nor pleasurable for later. I quit superhero-land for the rest of this phase.

I managed to finish editing my Small Fandom Big Bang for submission. I can edit it more later but a rough draft had to be in by the end of the month.

I've not been active here aside from my fic blog lmdee where I've managed to post each week. Keeping up with my writing sites is something I try and prioritise.

I'm trying to reassure myself that I understand when people take a hiatus and can't post/respond to comments. It's ok for me to take some time out too. It's ok to just a bit of fic and lose myself in the current trending topic on Twitter for a bit and watch some fanvids, listen to some music, watch more movies.

I saw a post on Wordpress when I posting there that talked about how difficult January is, how it seems to be 497 days long and it resonated with me. I hope February brings better things. I'm eager to welcome it as another new start.

I also hope you're all doing okay and that if you're not, that better things happen soon.

I think making kindness to yourself a priority is such a great thing to do and in the long run I think it will help.

January does seem like it is lasting foooooooooooooorever.

I hope your February is as stress-free as possible.
