my last public post is from jan this year. that's not including all the drafts i wrote out and deleted before posting, or the posts i did publish on private and/or deleted shortly after. much like the state of my dw, i also haven't been able to write much either in general. i've been busy with university (so i guess i have been writing in a way), and at this point i think all of us have been going through a lot this year, so i don't even need to get into any personal matters.
My biggest uni project is coming to an end, though, and recently i've refound my passion for reading, at least within a particular genre and type of work. i'm really hoping to branch out again when i have more time for myself, and i'm really hoping to finally get back into writing again.
i've had a lot of ideas and thoughts abt it recently, so hopefully i'll be able to get started again soon!
something that has cheered me up this year when i felt like i had lost the spark permanently was:
it's a quote i remembered when talking to a friend, and it really helped me calm down and stop beating myself up about not writing all of the time.
there's also another thing i wanted to talk about regarding writing and creating in times like these (when it feels like the whole world is on fire), but i'll save that for another time.
for now, i will do my best to finish what i'm currently going through, since i'm finally near the finish line, and i'll forgive myself for not being able to do all the other things i've wanted to until then. i'm ready to move on and start anew.

Date: 2020-07-10 11:43 am (UTC)i started with webtoons, turned into webnovels, i really enjoyed one called 'the villainess reverses the hourglass' i know they have a lot of cliches but i enjoyed this one a lot because the mc really enjoyed the villain role. and then a bit about data protection and its relationship with competition law (bc i barely touched on it in my thesis but was recommended a really interesting book)
since then ive watched a few tv shows with my family, all very much written for women and it's been making me think a lot too (and it's been messing with my dreams LMAO)
have you been reading anything interesting? id love new recs!
