auroracloud: a fountain pen against a sheet of paper and writing (writing)

I try not to worry too much about being up to date, because honestly, I'm used to always being the odd one out having weird interests, so the fact that anyone is into the same things as I am is always a plus! Doctor Who is the first time since Harry Potter that I'm into a really big fandom. Sometimes I wish I had more of the fandoms that "everyone" else is into, but honestly, I just want to read and watch the things I like. And while I read pretty fast, TV gives me sensory overload easily, too.

I gave up on Game of Thrones ages ago; it was too violent and brutal for me and even reading reviews/recaps makes my mental health issues flare. I'll much rather watch Good Omens!

Ah, sorry the podcast didn't work for you. I'm also pretty sensitive with auditive stuff; I'm not on the autism spectrum or anything, just your garden variety high sensitivity that's especially strong on the auditive stuff. But clearly my sensitive points are different from yours, since this podcast doesn't bother me, so I probably won't know when to warn you for possible problems, alas. I do wish she had a better microphone, but it's good enough that I can listen to it, which doesn't go for all podcasts I've tried. I frequently can't listen to even much recommended podcasts because I can't deal with someone's voice or accent, so I understand you, even if I didn't have those issues with this podcast. I'm sure there are plenty of other good writing-related podcasts out there that you can listen to more easily. I don't know a lot of them, but if you want to try something, you could give Writing Excuses a try; they've got very good sound quality and at least I personally haven't had problems with their voices. The approach is different, but they have writing prompts and such which is a nice bonus. :-)

Congrats for such a productive day for Monday! And an hour of editing on Tuesday is great, even if you didn't write a lot of new words.
