  • It’s locked so I would have to verify it in order to do any kind of resetting passwords and stuff. Which requires uploading photo id and a video of my face. I don’t really want to do all that, so I’m hoping that it being locked is enough to keep it from being used by hackers.

    I honestly just stopped using it so long ago & hadn’t even thought about the account until my sister told me it got hacked. I don’t care about having access to it, I just want it to be effectively useless lol







  • The dedicated works space definetly makes a big difference in my productivity. My basement set up is kind of funny, reminds me of communal living from my early 20s lol. Right now I have 3 beds, 2 monitors, 1 chair, and a shelf with my clothes.

    I like that musing on cloud atlas too. Though I find it’s harder for me to embody a voice different from my own when writing in first person. I end up defaulting to myself rather than sticking with what works best for the story. It could be a fun writing exercise for this month though :) maybe a spooky series of journal entries.




  • I think a resource like that would be good for artists as well as amateurs! Sometimes it can be so hard finding good reference photos or inspiration for ideas. Search engines often seem to show the same few images over and over.

    & so true about some people wanting to gatekeep slrpnk as a whole based on their own personal ideas about it. I think it often happens as a small niche movement becomes more popular. It would be good to have something more open and inviting.

    The idea of using the resource to try and bridge the gap between different sections of the movement is could have such a positive impact. We can widen the definition and grow the movement rather than giving into nitpicky infighting.

    Love your ideas, so grateful to you for sharing :)



  • This month has been chaotic for me. I’m finally moved into my new house but am in the midst of quite a few projects. I’m currently living in my basement while I fix and refinish the wood floors on the main floor. This sadly means I haven’t gotten to set up my new office space :( though i did rip out a closet and replace some rotten boards in the room that will become my office.

    I have gotten some writing done, though it hasn’t been a particularly productive month. Most of what I’ve written has just been journal entries and a few short essays. It’s not anything super great, but it does keep me in the writing mindset & keeps the words flowing.

    This month my goal is to at least continue writing little things. Story ideas, journaling, commentary essays, stuff like that. Maybe adding to my longer story in little chunks. I also have a few grant proposals I will need to write.

    As a streach goal, I hope to have my floors finished so I can at least move all my office stuff into the space it goes. It would also be nice to get another chapter of my book drafted.

    Mostly, I’m just trying to keep in mind that any progress is progress. As long as I’m writing something, I’m on the right track.




  • Super good point! Also I don’t know if you saw, but we’ve been doing the writing club in this community. I think there are 3 or 4 of us who have been consistently checking in, but we have had a few people chime in just for the month. I can link to it if you haven’t already seen those posts.

    So far it has luckily been a very positive and motivational space :) no one getting weird and nitpicky, mostly just encouraging eachother to keep up with writing
