Things I do not want to be thinking/worrying about:

• Turkey attacking the Kurds
• Supreme Court rulings
• Power cuts in the Bay Area
• Something I'm probably consciously forgetting but is still causing me anxiety

Things I would much prefer to be thinking about:

• How incredibly fucking stupid Michael Sheen is (cf this clip where Jose Mourinho probably saved his career by tackling his counterpart on the other team when he decided to play soccer with a fractured elbow)
• Hot preacher Travis Willingham and hot idk what Khary Payton is in the Undeadwood trailer
• The utility of events like Fictober/Inktober in terms of creating good habits but also the tedium of "having" to produce something every day, however small
• How I should structure the rest of my month in terms of fic writing

I've been thinking about that re: Fictober myself. I did it for the last two years, and it was literally life-altering for me as a writer because I finally found my way into a headspace where I had to just get the words down and to hell with judging whether they were the right words or not.

But I'm not doing it this year, because I learned that lesson and ended up missing two days of work doing it after I got sick from sleep deprivation. But there's something compelling about that drive. I ought to do some sort of "one fic a week" approach or something.
