I am a bit sad that I missed the Fandom Snowflake Challenge... I thought about participating halfway, but felt too nervous to. I'm always missing out on things out of irrational anxiety.

It's mostly that a daily miscellaneous writing challenge looks appealing to me at the moment. I feel like forcing myself to write consistently, based on any given prompt, would go a long way in helping me hone the skill of sticking to a point and expressing it in the most efficient way possible. There might be other writing challenges out there, though, maybe I just need to look for some!

I really am rusty

Consistently hammering away at this gift exchange fic has really shown me how out of practice I am with writing! Of course prose is a constant issue, but I've also been having a lot more problems with structuring, pacing, transitions and logical connections than I expected to... goes to show that you really need to work at something frequently in order to stay on top of your game 😔

That said, it's been incredibly satisfying to see an end in sight for a project for the first time in a while. Most of my previous writing attempts in the last year have been incomplete drabbles and drafts stuck at the 30% mark, so I'm pretty happy that this current WIP is about 60% done! I still have a couple weeks before the deadline, and it should be enough time to smooth out all the kinks.
