MONDAY UPDATE: it's not much,

vaguepostingbut it's honest work.
hello. it's been nearly two years since i last published an update.
i've been thinking about using dreamwidth as my personal blogging platform. obviously, tumblr has a million if not bajillion advantages compared to dreamwidth, but at the same time i like something quiet. and intimate. and maybe stable. wordpress is too professional for someone like me. i wanted something i can link to my personal website. that's why i came back.
i've been job-hunting since i graduated. it's an arduous journey but it seems that things are going to come up for me anytime soon.
along the way i realized that i have skills that need refining to make myself a lot more employable and perhaps get a job i'll enjoy. so i started the odin project. this is not sponsored by any means, but i think basic web development know-how is important and cannot recommend the course enough. even if you just take the fundamentals course it's still a lot of learning.
while i'm writing this, i'm actually working on the update of my personal website, so i'll keep you posted.
i started writing it on january 1 and i want to write this to completion come the end of june. 500 words a day is the ideal, but if i can't do that then even just a sentence or two will work.
i gave up on being too meticulous and fastidious with worldbuilding. not everything will be revealed to me while brainstorming, and that's OK. that's what drafts are for.
i'm currently on chapter 3 and i'm already steering the plot to a strange yet lovely direction. despite the slower pace, i feel like my writing is now more deliberate and well-formed now that i'm pacing myself well instead of trying to do the nightmare that is "writing frb during nanowrimo." i feel mentally healthier and i have room to study. by the way, SCREW nanowrimo.
i'm going to be posting updates a lot more frequently from now on. i think an update schedule of every monday is good. too many updates and i might become unreliable.
that's about it.
thank you for reading.
