Hello lovely peeps!
How has the first month of 2024 been treating you? I hope January has been treating you well and that you’re in good health and such!
For me… I feel as if my brain has been doing great. I mean, I certainly put out a lot of content in January and that’s partially because of the snowflake challenge, and partially because of the blog planning sheet. And, I’ve started to use it to give myself (and Meeko) some prompts to toss into our current projects that we’re writing to bulk our word count. I iz smart.
And I was on a great rise with writing my new project, and then I saw a video about a new game that game out and while I’m not necessarily a gamer, or like animated stuff, this game just SCREAMED at me. It’s Palworld, and it’s a lot of fun, it certainly is good for some dopamine. It’s also… bad because hyperfixation has me playing 10+ hours a day. Yeah.
Yikes.
I haven’t been adding words to the story at all! Whoops. I’m sure the novelty will wear off soon.
But, another thing is that I have ideas for stories. And I can only write one at a time so I’d better work on my story so I can start what I want to write. The story I’m writing right now has the potential for one of the other ideas, so that will be interesting…
Question for you (not related to what I said above): When you read a fic, is a HEA (Happily Ever After) important to you? How important is it? Would you read a story when there is not a HEA for one of the (main) characters but the story does resolve?
I’ve also caught up with certain Fear the Walking Dead episodes in January… I needed a certain fix and heard someone was coming back… Can you tell?
And, with that, I’m going to leave you with a list of things you might have missed in January 🙂

Oh, I know. HEA’s are great! And I usually write them despite setting the characters on fire first and quarter them before glueing them back together and stuff, but I guess I’m wondering if you’d read a story where the HEA is where the heroes win instead of a couple ending up together? <3
Super glad that you’re doing well Buggy. I’m fairly well here also. 🙂
To answer your question about HEA’s,… that shit is a MUST for me. I use fanfic to escape when life is crappy….which is often. 😉
But your writing is for you girl. If a story doesn’t scream happy to me, I just don’t read it and wait (happily) for the next one. Easy peasy, no problem…
You have a great February.
