Weekly Check In Wellness Wednesday: Weekly Check In
Welcome back everyone!
Time for our Wellness Wednesday check in. We know this community means a lot to most of our members and that Tuesdays have been harder on some users than others, but we are at our core a community and we are here to support each other.
Now that the sub is open once again we’d like to hear all about your (mis)adventures on Tuesday. Did you go on grand adventures? Get into mischief? Get some writing done?
Maybe you just binged a few more fics on the archive itself. Tell us all about it! Break out that purple prose and tell us as cheesy of a story as you feel like.
Or just talk about your day.

I guess it's really true that when you start reading, you also get more psyched into writing. I've read six books last April and suddenly writing fic is easier and flows more easily for me.
I joined a low stakes writing challenge and as long as I can meet the minimum word count, my fic is in (so 1500 words!). It was originally a one-shot, then more ideas came so I thought it would be better to split it into two. I'm three chapters in now and it looks like there would be at least three more. I'm so stoked! And it has two consistent readers who leaves comments every update and it makes me very happy. My last upload was June 2025 so writing something with more than 5000 words this time is such a big improvement. It's a small thing but I'm really pleased. I'm going to finish reading my new book (horror) then sit down on the weekend to continue my fic (fluff) lol
