Host a Fest?

[ysabetwordsmith]

Nobody has signed up to host a fest in November.  Does anybody want to take this one?  It's not a lot of work, and it's a fun way to promote your favorite fandom(s) or other topic.

You're definitely not alone. I've had so much going on lately, it's crazy. And I didn't even manage one fill for the fall fest bingo, though I still have 7 hours to go...

Don't ask me how, but I managed to finish my black out for the Fall Fest, but it was only a 3x3 bingo cards and I did 3 prompts per story. I never would have got done if I wrote 9 stories. I barely got my dribbles done. Why is there always too much to do and too little time to do it in?

Re: Well ...

[fuzzyred]

Congrats on finishing! Multiple prompts in one story is a good way to go. I have no clue; time seems to just disappear, and the to-do list just seems to multiply. It's like a never-ending, losing battle. But sometimes you can make some progress against the ever-coming tide.

Thank you. It didn't help that my combo COVID booster and flu shot ate up a bunch of time last week. I was a zombie for awhile after that. Still considering what's going on in the states it was a smart move. I also have a chronic cough that likke to annoy me on a yearly basis. It's hung on this year. I only had several month of not so bad. I have a feeling that I'm going to bed early. I never got a nap today. That's embarrassing,, but I usually need a nap or two depending on my weird sleep schedule these days. That eats up the time as well.

Oh man, vaccine side effects are never fun, and neither are lingering coughs. I can understand the need for naps; my sleep schedule has been all over the place lately, but I usually don't have time for a nap. Sleep does take up time too, especially if you have a non-standard pattern going on.

Re: Well ...

I don't know what is up with these weird sleep patterns these days. I hear a lot of people say their's are like that, too. I keep wondering about stress, COVID, Climate Change. There's something going on. I've been wondering if the planet just wants the humans gone.

Re: Well ...

[fuzzyred]

Those could all be factors. Plus, if there is more stress and unpleasant things going on, the temptation to just sleep it all away and ignore is a lot higher than if everything is going smoothly. And frankly, I wouldn't blame the planet if it did want humans gone. We can be damn stupid and destructive sometimes.

It doesn't help that the human population has more than doubled since I was in JR High School. That just blows my mind.

Re: Well ...

[fuzzyred]

Holy shit. O.O I did not realize that had happened...

Re: Well ...

[siberian_skys]

Either my JR High Geography teacher was wrong or my memory is off, but Google told me that I was wrong. Google said that there were 4.4 billion humans in 1980 and not 3 billion. That's still double the population and nuts.

So knock off something quick. I know the frustration of a blank card. Me, I've been planting bulbs.

I started something yesterday, but didn't finish it. Perhaps I will have time today. I don't think it will be long, a handful of paragraphs probably, but I'm happy with the beginning of it so far.
