Worries and Some Progress
May. 31st, 2020 11:31 pmThe end of another month in quarantine. I’m wary of the talk of most of the states reopening, even cautiously. I hear warnings it could lead to an even second bigger wave and there is some precedence with the Spanish Flu. Even if Covid-19 would let up at least a bit during the summer, it’s apparently going to be worse in the winter. As an asthmatic, I’m wary of becoming a victim to that carelessness and indifference in the name of the economy. They should pay everyone a living wage and give proper supports and resources until pandemic passes but with the “bootstraps for poor, socialism for rich” Republicans in power, it’s sad to say there are going to be far fewer services that would be dared to be allowed to happen. I just hope the deaths and abuses from Covid-19 aren’t normalized just so corporations can continue making more money.
On less depressing topics, I’ve finally got back to writing more of We Will Hold On Forever. I don’t think I’m quite ready to post the next two chapters yet, I devoted over a week to writing the fic and then I resumed editing my class master project, which will be on weekdays while the fanfic will be on the weekends. That wasn’t enough time to review and then input the edits for the two chapters, which involved cutting down details and adding a scene to clarify a misunderstanding. I did some vague math and I think I’d be able to finish much of the second draft for my master project by the time I’m ready to start classes in the Fall. So at least I might post the next two chapters of We Will Hold On Foreverin the next few months but again, it will be slow going. Sorry. It’ll be even slower going because I’m taking Writing Portfolio again in the fall to meet credit requirements, so I will have to use weekends to write new material for that (I don’t have to technically but I want try out an original story idea I have).
That’s all for now. I’m going to try posting original thoughts and muses on my other social media accounts four to five times a week, so I can get used to interacting with others more. I might also reply to others’ posts but will be more cautious, since I’ve bungled that in the past. For anyone who has been a victim of my awkward socializing, sorry, I’ll try to do better. Remember, Black Lives Matter, and I’ll see you at the end of June!
