Seeing a post about kudos vs comments on r/ao3 and all I'll say is that while I'd love to get more comments, I'm happy with getting kudos because I've always understood it to be a "I liked this/good job/update please."

Also I think people take the kudos vs comment debate as if it's either you get a kudos or comment, when realistically, for some readers it's kudos or nothing at all. They were never going to write a comment for a number of different reasons. And that's fine, because quite frankly some people just aren't ever going to be at that stage and too many fanfic authors are publically bitter and entitled about the type of comments they get.

Working chugging along with fanfiction. The FicWip community is really nice and I'm feeling motivated even though I'm still slow and a lot of them don't share my fandom. It's still nice to see people being that supportive of writing.

Also in Twst news, I'm enjoying the Stitch event! It's so cute and I like the way Lilia and Floyd are also very central. Especially with Floyd who is often seen as destructive and chaotic like Stitch. On top of that, Lilia deals with Malleus who could easily be seen as being a destructive force, like Stitch. So I feel like it's very relevant.

Also working on being better about following up on my bullet journal tdls, so I can be more organized. I'm not doing it perfectly, but I think I'm slowly getting there. It's hard when my job gets so busy in summer, but I want to be consistent even though some of my goals from earlier in the year have fallen by the wayside.

but I'm keeping up with exercise and my reading. There are a lot of games distracting me and I'm hoping Dawntrail will suck me back into FFXIV hard.

It's been forever since I've done anything like this and I look at my dw entry I made in 2012 and wow. I mean I'm in a better place moneywise at least, though I could be more responsible, but I got to get back on track with a lot of things.

But some goals and thoughts.

I'll probably be trying to take up some challenges to get more variety, but lol... otherwise this is just all Makai Ouji stuff.
