Writer's Block

Ugh. I'm going through the worst writer's block right now. I guess it's the result of writing so much in September. I posted four fics in one month! Now, to be fair, some of them had been WIPs for quite a while, but even so. I've written so much that now it feels like I'm out of words, out of inspiration. Out of motivation! So I'm taking a break from writing, hopefully I can pick up motivation to finish that fic for the Carry On even before the posting date. I'm proud of everything I wrote last month though.

I've started watching Star Trek: The Original Series. It almost feels like nerd homework, but I really am curious about it. I finished episode one "The Cage". It was really interesting! The style feels so much more different to modern shows, it took me off-guard. I'm interested in it though! I at least want to finish The Original Series, even if I end up not watching anything more. I'm curious to pick up some of the novelizations too.

I am also slowly purging my Tumblr of all political stuff. I just firmly believe that social media is not really the place to form your political beliefs of all things. I want Tumblr to be for fandom stuff, cool art, and funny textposts. I'm no activist, and I don't claim to be, and I don't want my Tumblr clogged with a bunch of political stuff. I'm tired of feeling like I have to be up to date on everything and I'm a horrible person if I don't do anything about stuff happening in other countries. I'm not saying I want to live in ignorance, but I'm tired of being constantly exposed to it. It's like, I put my hand on the hot stove and it hurts so I take it off, but then someone says "But if you're not constantly touching it how will you know it's there?" Like, I don't need to be exposing myself to something that hurts me just to fulfill your ideas of activism. I don't know, it's just something I'm working on removing from my Tumblr. It's hard when I keep getting asks and nobody tags their stuff with appropriate tags. It's like they think their post deserves to be seen by everyone, and fuck you if you are trying to avoid triggers! Okay, Tumblr rant over.
