lea_hazelStill being plagued by visions (story ideas) but also, I am going through some folders on my hard drive that time forgot and deleting a bunch of crap that I don't need and will never want. Feels like getting an overdue haircut in terms of the amount of mass lost vs. relief to neck muscles.
The second book I attempted to console with me went well for the first half, and then, early in the second part of the duology, I hit another scene that had me asking myself "should I push through this in hopes for good things ahead?" And eventually, I decided against pushing through. Reading is fun. Reading is a hobby. It will continue being a fun hobby if I treat it like one, not like some kind of solemn duty I have towards the books that I bought. Or something.
I am not interested in recs (at all!!), but what's the name of that site that was supposed to be a better alternative to Goodreads?

I bounced off of it for personal idiosyncratic reasons, but I know many people who happily switched.
