writethisfanficGood (insert your local time of day)! Hope all is doing well!
How has writing gone today?
Do you have a piece of fiction you've written 10+ years ago that you want to revisit? It doesn't necessarily need to be in the sense of wanting to rewrite it or write a sequel.

Work...
Sep. 16th, 2025 06:45 pmkoshka_the_catSo we have a $1,000,000 budget shortfall at work and we're not cutting teachers, but we're losing lots of staff. An AP, counselor, mental health, office workers, hall monitor, strategists, a tech. Lots of people who work directly with kids and who help the school run smoothly.
I'm thankful to be in my nice, boring classroom for the 24th year. Seniority is a good thing. I feel for everyone affected. They should all get jobs at other schools, but I think most schools have similar situations.
I'm so tired of everything being so wrong on purpose.

How did writing go today?
Do you have rituals related to writing? Do you like to make a cup of tea before writing? Reread the last couple hundred words of your WIP? Read a few pages of a book?

Annoying (backdated)
Sep. 13th, 2025 07:08 pmkoshka_the_catI was going to make jam. I opened my new pectin. It was weird and lumpy. So no jam.
It's Ball low sugar/no sugar pectin which I haven't seen in stores. Thankfully Amazon believed I had a defective product and refunded it. I then bought more. I've been on an English muffin bread with strawberry jam kick.

Knitting
Sep. 14th, 2025 07:03 pmkoshka_the_catI've barely been working on it, but I'm about halfway through the back of the lacy 20s sweater. It's about ten rows an inch and you're supposed to knit for 9 inches, slightly stretched. Despite vintage sweaters usually being short waisted, I think it will be long enough on this one because of the lace band at the bottom.

Sep. 14th, 2025 02:43 pmglitteringstars posting in writethisfanficHello everyone!
How has your writing gone today? Did you focus on getting words down, did you do some editing, or brainstorming?
Today's discussion question: What's the funniest thing you've researched for a fic? As an example, since I had some characters doing some traveling, I was wondering when canning was first invented. Apparently, canning as we know it can be traced to Napoleon I looking for a way to transfer a lot of preserved food for his army.

Wednesday
Sep. 10th, 2025 08:22 pmkoshka_the_catHalfway. Work was fine. My classes are amazingly going well.
We had a fire drill today. I told the kids and told them drills were better if they knew about them. This is true. I read about it after they wouldn't tell us when a hard lockdown drill was once. It was not long after a teacher accidentally put the school in a hard lockdown which traumatized my students. And all of us! And of course there was a school shooting today. I'm glad(?) I didn't find out until after work, and I so hope the kids will be ok.

Tom!
Sep. 9th, 2025 08:41 pmkoshka_the_catTom has been fully out of his cage for about a week now. He seems to be at least mostly healed. He's very much acting like it, running and jumping more than he should. I'm so relieved for him!

changing how a journal shows entries are posted in a comm?
Sep. 9th, 2025 09:02 amkakkoi posting in style_systemhello! i've been working on layout for a bit, and while i've got most things i want done the way i want it, i'm having issues with the way a poster is displayed on the read page
ignore the padding, i'll be fixing that, but is there any way to get the "posting in" to not display on the reading page, and have it just show the entry poster and the community?
using tabula rasa - plain, and this is the current base layout and the code regarding posters and user pics looks like this

Sep. 7th, 2025 06:50 pmkoshka_the_catIt was a three nap weekend. *yawn*
I often wonder how people do it. I don't have much responsibility beyond work and a job that covers what I need. If I'm always so tired, what is it like for people who have responsibilities and not enough?
