The March Is...Fest was fun, but challenging for me that month. I have no idea why March was a hard month for writing, but I managed. I made two bingos--one diagonal and one horizontal.

I'm looking forward to writing in April's Gothic Fest. I haven't watched any of Wednesday yet, so I need to read what you wrote about the fest.

March is often hard, usually for a different reason each time. When I was in college we'd say, "Did anyone get the license number of that month?"

Go you!

Yay!

If you want to watch it, think twice about reading my meta first. It's pretty much wall-to-wall spoilers for everything that matters.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds March difficult.

Thank you for warning me about the spoilers in your meme. I am so behind, I'm not sure when I'm going to get to Wednesday, but I do want to watch it. I way want to rethink what I'm catching-up on.

*hugs offered* My sympathies. It's a bitch of a month. Heh, some of my characters call it The Moon of Mud Everywhere.

Try this: watch the first episode of Wednesday. If you get hooked, it's only 8 episodes; you could binge it in a day or spread it out over the next week.

If it doesn't hook you, then you can either decide to watch it later, or skip it and just read the meta. I've had experiences where the meta and fanfic were way better than the canon.

The Moon of Mud is a good phrase for it.

Thanks for letting me know that Wednesday only has several episodes. If the first one hooks me it won't take long.
