GUYS. Guys.

Fueling the misguided mentality I have that someone gives a rat's ass, I want to apologize for lack of updates! Not that I did it with any regularity before, but I have multiple things to apologize for:

1) Sidefic! is being worked on, tweaked, what have you. Or is waiting to be worked on. Um. More on this soon. (Honestly, this piece is not that long, nobody get their hopes up, I'd hate to crush them.)

2) TEF! is... also being worked on, but after that one epic weekend I'm not finding time to hit that 1,000 words/week goal I'd personally set for myself. More on this soon, also.

More on this soon now:

REAL LIFE, THERE IS SO MUCH HAPPENING. Work is NUTS. BEYOND NUTS. I AM BUSY AS FUCK; HAVEN'T BEEN HOME A SINGLE NIGHT BEFORE 8P. Also, this weekend two friends are in town visiting, one who is staying with me and the s.o., and there is literally not a single moment that I am going to have to myself for writing or me time (which sucks because with work so FUCKCRAZY I could really use some!!!). Not that I am complaining about having friends in town, but ABWARGGGGH. IT'S SO BUSY. AND IT DOESN'T LOOK TO BE LETTING UP UNTIL MID-OCTOBER. D:

So. There's my piece. I'm going to do my best to work in some writing time here and there, God willing. For now, though, I'm just trying to focus on leaving work at a decent hour.

While there is thumb-twiddling and waiting, though, I have non-fandom recs for you! These are two of my favorite short stories, Murakami's especially. Read. Partake. Love.

No One's A Mystery by Elizabeth Tallent
On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful April morning by Haruki Murakami

Shoot me some of your favorites? In the meantime, I'll do my best to get back soon...

I could say I'm kidding, but we'd both know it's a lie. It's okay though, we don't want you to feel rushed, and understand you only want your stuff to be as dazzlingly glorious as possible so you feel deserving when we marvel at it in awe and mouth jumbled praises at you. :D

*tissues you*

I tend to feel rushed on these things anyway because when I dwell I get less work done and then I feel less inspired and start slumping. I don't like slumping. Also it is not a pretty word.

I do enjoy feeling like I deserve all your comments; it is a very happy feeling :D
