 I've been struggling to complete the days of the challenge - or be on DW at all - due to having an unexpectedly and suddenly extremely horrible week, but here we go.

 Hi!! This is my first time doing an exchange Ever so bear with me<3 I'm not entirely sure what to include here to be honest, hopefully this is good! Note: Treats are awesome, my gifting option should be open!

 I have made a community for the hobby of data hoarding! You can find it at datahoarders .

 I hope this doesn't show up on reading pages, I unclicked that option because I'm pretty paranoid about pissing people off through spam.... but I thought I'd make a more in-depth about me post, since I want DW to be my main platform and so I feel like people should know more about me than the vague handwave I have in my profile?

Ah, well... I think that's it for now. I may update this if I think of more.

 There will be some changes to this journal. Going forward I will be posting access list only, so if you'd like to be on my access list please let me know in the comments. I'm also going to put most or maybe all old posts access-only too.

I also changed my username. I used to be c*****n. I'm trying to leave behind my old internet presence and create a new one, buuuuuuuut I now have a paid account on this place for the rest of the year and I don't want that to go to waste by making a new account. So yeah. 

This is mostly because of the system host change but also for a lot of other reasons I'm going to outline in an access locked post. Edit: as of 11/27/24 12:18pm EST I've added everyone but feel free to ask if you see this afterwards and still want access!

1. Where do you get ideas/inspo for your writing? Generally I draw from my real world experiences and my own thoughts about/relationship to the world. Writing is intensely, deeply personal for me! I also like to look to nature, to my family and pets, and to other works of literature and art for inspiration.

2. Do you have a favorite place to write? I love writing outside in my front yard, watching the squirrels run around and the cars pass by. It's really peaceful! It's a habit I only picked up recently and I'm so glad I did.

3. What are your tricks for getting through writers block? I really like doing the stream of consciousness exercise to get my creative juices flowing. You set a timer for, say, ten minutes and write without stopping for the entire ten minutes. Just anything at all that comes to mind. I usually get two results: it's either incoherent or pretty good. I've published a few of them here and here.

4. Favorite genre to write? Do you have a different favorite genre for reading? Science fiction and horror. And science fiction-horror. Pretty much that's it.

5. What is something you really want to write but haven't gotten around to yet? Uh, most things? I'm dreaming up a short story collection featuring sapphic sci-fi stories right now...

Just found this comm thefridayfive and decided it might be fun to do every friday!

1. What's a song you'd enjoy screaming along to as you drove down the highway? I have a whole playlist for this, but my personal favorite car screamers are Tainted Love and Thong Song lol. I don't drive for disability reasons, but have spent many evening drives singing these with my mom.

2. What is your favorite place/type of environment to relax? I really love going to the library, either to read or write. I find that I'm really only able to get writing done when I leave the house, for some unknown reason. And I live very close to my city's library, so I like going down there with my laptop and chilling. It's really calming and everyone is so nice there. And writing, of course, is my relaxation.

3. What are the best kind of dreams? I don't know! The good kind, I suppose? Lame answer I know... Maybe ones that connect you better to others, or give you realizations or something. I recently had a dream I was a mother, which I've always wanted to be but cannot be for various reasons, so that one was really nice but I ended up missing my daughter so much when I woke up, haha, so that's always a downside to good dreams---they're over when you wake up.

4. What do you look for in a mate? Empathy, kindness, humor, and understanding. And, since fiction is a huge part of my life, we should at least share some interests there too lol.

5. If you were a crayon color, what color would you be and why? I think I'd be a mint green! I love mint green :D I also recently chose mint as my color for the Neocities club "pantson colors".
