Trying not to overextend myself, with limited success

[incognitajones]

It's one of the highest points of stress in my volunteer position, and my partner co-ordinator isn't available this year due to a family emergency, so I really don't have the brain power to spare for any creative writing at the moment.

Still, I've been trying to work on my WIPs a tiny bit every day--just 15 minutes or a couple of sentences, whatever comes first. The issue is that I can tread water that way, but I can't develop any forward momentum. And I feel like I desperately need outside assistance to make any significant progress; someone to help me talk through the mess and reassure me that it's not unsalvageable.

And yet I couldn't resist the temptation to sign up for multifandomdrabble... I do love the form, and I can manage an assignment of 100 words in a day if I have to.

I've also committed to posting Tolkien recs on the fanart_recs community during August, once things have quieted down. Consider this a plea to link me any art you love!

You've got this! Drabbles sound like a good, low-pressure writing exercise. I might try that out myself.

As for Tolkien art... man, there is such talent out there in that fandom... Did you ever see this article? Not technically Fandom fanart(?), I suppose, but still, how gorgeous!

I love his book covers, but I had no idea he'd done Tolkien art as well!!! Thanks for the link.
