Predictability
Aug. 24th, 2022 04:13 pmMy last entry was, perhaps predictably, prematurely optimistic re: sleep disruption, but it has actually gotten better more recently. Still, the pseudo-life crisis partially causing it has not abated, and I'm starting to feel a certain amount of decision paralysis and sheer panic, which I am steadfastly attempting to ignore. Very predictably, this does not, in fact, make any of the problems go away, but merely forestalls them, leading to--you guessed it--more panic.
I'm at an impasse with reading and general media consumption as well, which is unhelpful but fairly typical. Work on draft 6 of Novel 1 has also slowed to a crawling almost-halt, which only further fuels the feelings of paralysis and panic.
So, all in all, I'm Not Doing Great(TM).
On the bright side, about the only piece of media I am successfully consuming is House of the Dragon, which I am delighted to discover is Actually Good, unlike its predecessor Game of Thrones. Although I am thrilled with the first episode and am bursting with Thoughts, I also find myself with a dearth of spoons, so alas. But I will say, Daemon Targaryen is quite possibly the best adapted Song of Ice and Fire character to date and is played absolutely flawlessly by Matt Smith (all the haters to the left), both of these things are very good for me because my actual favorite Targ is, in fact, not Dany (believe it or not) but is rather Daemon. Shocking, I know, since nearly all of my friends know me as a notoriously staunch Dany stan. And I am! But in actual fact, Dany barely makes my top five favorite Targs, it's just that, until recently, she was all I had insofar as live action adaptations.
When I have more time/spoons, I shall try to write more in-depth concerning my HotD feelings, because oh boy oh boy, do I ever have a lot of them.
