Got inspired to write something after seeing that the official organization for NaNoWriMo is shutting down, which I'm honestly not too broken up about due to their embrace of AI last year. Despite being trapped in a kind of brainfog for most of March, the last week or so I've felt myself lift out of it and actually managed to write some drafts that may eventually turn into something I can post on AO3. Instead of waiting for November, I'm contemplating setting myself a weekly(?) writing goal to encourage me to stick with it. So far my bursts of inspiration the past couple of years have ended because I either put too much pressure on myself or none at all, so maybe landing in some kind of middle ground is the solution.

Doctor Who returns in a couple of weeks and I still haven't gotten around to finishing the Wilderness Years, which was definitely hampered in part from leaving Twitter where I hosted my threads with my first impressions. The trailer for the new season looks really good, but the way Disney has been handling its properties lately makes me nervous that the rumors of Ncuti Gatwa shooting a regeneration scene may have some truth to them. Regardless, I do have faith that RTD will step in if Disney tries to exert undue control over the show, or condition further funding on catering the show to a rightwing audience.

In my last entry I mentioned I started watching Twin Peaks. I've been enjoying it but it's been a slow burn (I'm not yet done with the first season). I've gotten in the habit the past few years of watching television while simultaneously doing another task, and Twin Peaks is something that really demands my attention in a way that doesn't really allow that. Not that I'm complaining, it's just taking me a bit to readjust.
