Quick Update

[findmeinthealps]

I did my taxes today for the first time in my life! Yay for adulting! I've been wanting to do that for years and always put it off because it seemed too scary, but it actually turned out not to be all that scary. Plus, I'm probably going to get quite a lot of money back, so that's nice.

I'm also rewatching Mindhunter in anticipation of the new season, and falling in love with it all over again. I'm very sad that there's not much of a fandom for this show (and no one has written the fic that I really need to exist). Maybe season 2 will bring in some new people. It almost makes me want to try writing again - but to be honest, that's probably not going to happen. Vidding is always the priority.

It's been a little frustrating though. Like I anticipated, the lack of a deadline has put me into a bit of a motivational slump. I've been stuck doing about 15 minutes of mostly unproductive clipping every day and then giving up, and I don't know how to get myself unstuck. I probably just need to invest some time and push through it. I wish I knew how to make the thing happen where I get super focused on one vid and can spend hours doing nothing else. These phases just come and go and I seem to have no say in when they happen. I don't know how my brain works.

Completing your taxes sounds like some excellent adulting to me, well done you :)

Would it help you with vidding if I pointed out that there's only about nine months left before the deadline for premieres for the next VidUKon?

Thanks! I mean... I was hoping to get this vid done a little sooner than nine months from now... if I already start vidding for vidukon now, you might end up with more premieres than you bargained for ;)

It feels from the phrasing and context as if you're saying that having lots of premieres from you could be a bad thing, but I'm not seeing what the problem is? *looks innocent*

I mean... challenge accepted, I guess?
