So my NaNo project has pretty much failed. It wasn’t for a lack of trying, either. Not really. I just had a really difficult time getting into any of my character’s heads to properly write. The muse was not with me this time around.
I shall endeavor to try at another time and do my own NoWriMo (see what I did there?).
Meanwhile, I have been working and already disliking my job. It is painfully simple and offers zero challenge to me. And yet I see my co-workers constantly struggling, both the ones that were trained in the same week as me as well as others. Today, for example, we were in our chat and the assigned Chat Coach left at the end of her shift. Usually we see someone else come in just before or just after. An hour later, there was still no chat coach. Me, the newbie, was half running the chat along with a veteran and we were doing fine. Then things started getting stupid and I ran off to IM my team lead to let her know. She moved us all to another chat instead.
In my spare time, very recently, I took up reading comics again. I was introduced to a little boy named Alexander Aaron, also known as Phobos. Or is it Phobos-also-known-as-Alexander-Aaron? I’m not really sure. Either way, the 12 year old boy is quite entertaining. He shakes down Norman Osborn and kicks Nick Fury. You just don’t do that. True, it was to get the old man’s ass across a ravine to safety so Phobos could take on the big-baddie on his own and be all kick-ass but still. Damn. Okay, okay. God of Fear and all but damn. Too amusing. I may have just added a new favorite character to my Marvel roster. Deadpool still tops this, naturally.
My dear friend Robin happened to point me in the direction of a PanFandom RPG and Phobos demanded to be played. So, for the past few days, I have been working on his profile and making sure he was safely secure in my head. He has made himself at home and is currently snuggled down, in chibi form, wearing feetie-pajamas.
I love it.
