- I posted the penultimate chapter of Mending Wall (my coldwave neighbourfic AU). ✅ 
- I've finished the FINAL chapter of MW and am now just waiting for my lovely beta/co-writer to comment, and then that will go up too. ▶️
- And then Mending Wall will be finished! This fic got me through some dark times in the last six months or so. I'm going to miss it. <3 The zamaya sequel is going to be fun to write, though.
- I never finished most of the Fandom Snowflake Challenge, but I still want to do a few more of them.
- I need to get working on the DCTV Gen Valentine's weekend - it's SOON. I've got one story turning into something nice, but for the other two I only have ideas...
- After that, I need to finish the prequel to the coldwestallen story (it's part-written) ↪️and get back to the coldatomwave series that I've barely started. And work on the Caitlin Snow/Lisa Snart/Amunet Black thing I've had in mind for a while... I recently realised I generally want a break from writing Leonard Snart, so that might help! (All my ships have Len in. It's something of a problem!)
- Out in the real world, I'm moving house, and need to start thinking about writing journal articles based on my recently-finished PhD thesis... Today there's snow on the ground, so I'm housebound (I can't wheel myself around on ice or snow), so I'm writing. It's nice to have a day when I can't do anything so I don't have to. As long as the snow is gone soon, so I can get back to clearing out my flat in preparation for moving!

Happy Imbolc to those who celebrate :) I need to clean my house and put up my Brighid's cross...

So I think the best way to deal with the brain gremlins that tell you you’re no good because no one comments on your fic... is just to write more. Probably. Hopefully... (I so admire those people who just ‘write for themselves’ without these gremlins. Unless those people are, in fact, entirely mythical. That’s possible too.)

So my coldwestallen hasn’t done great (based on comments - it’s done ok with hits etc), but I enjoyed writing it so much, so I’m still going to attempt the prequel. But I also have a couple of other things I need/want to write first (or soon). Including the final chapter of Mending Wall (note to self: never take breaks in WIPs - I have to reread the whole thing now - but at least that will be like reading a whole new story since I’ve forgotten a lot of it :D ) and the post-Oculus coldwave/coldatomwave that was meant to be for the last day of coldwave week but then there was Christmas and life got way too busy. And an ADHD Barry that I’m trying to make olivarry because it’s for a friend who loves them. And I’m doing some beta reading for a friend today too.

Hmm, maybe it’s ‘write in a cafe’ time!

Repeats mantra “I write for myself” in my head ad infinitum...
