I've given up the attempt to ever be up to date with anything. I never manage, which frustrates me to no end, and also often leaves me way behind, nearly with everything that is fandom-related. But I found out the hard way that I'm incapable of reading as fast, commenting as fast, let alone watching/reading source material as fast as the average fanperson. As far as watching goes, it's a question of sensory overload issues due to my autism; binge watching is totally out of the question for me, and even watching a whole movie or one or two episodes of a series every day results isn't possible for more than four days in a row without a "free" day. Part of me is saddened by this, because I feel I'm inadequate even as a fanperson, and not only with everything in real life. The rest of me struggles along and tries to get my joy out of it all the same, but I'm also never feeling really part of anything due to this, as I'm always the one who isn't up to date, didn't manage this or that and so on. So I can totally relate to you feeling behind! And I hope you're having a lot of fun with Good Omens. (I've put that on the back-burner for a while, too, as we've just started to continue with GoT, and found we hadn't even finished Season 5 when Siljan lost interested and we stopped watching it on DVD.)
Thank you for the podcast link! It sounds very interesting. I tried the latest episode, but I'm afraid this is one of those which are un-listenable for me. Due to my sensory issues, I can't listen to certain sound qualities, particularly very jarring/squeaky voices and the dull breath and bumping noises you often hear on unedited recordings. Unfortunately, this podcast seems to combine all my sound issues, and I find I can't concentrate on what they're saying due to it. Turning down the volume doesn't help as it then gets too low... Perhaps I'll download an episode and try if it's getting better with a simple editing as soon as I'm trough with reinstalling my desktop.
For my tally: Monday (the 10th) was a great writing day for me; I wrote a long blog entry, wrote new scenes for the edit of the joint story project, and wrote over 1k for the joint story project at our weekly session in the evening, which adds up to 2,8k, plus over an hour of editing for the joint story project as well. On the other hand, yesterday (11th) only brought me about 35 new words written on my phone, although I managed another hour of editing later on.
