✨ Exploring Other Worlds ✨
sixstepsaway's year; 2021
I doubt anyone remembers me (which is fine!) but I was here a few years ago. I had a big goal (600k) and although I think I made it or at least got close, I somewhat forgot this forum existed, after a while. Life happens, I guess.
Regardless, this year is the year I need to get some big things done, so here's 2021's monster goal tracker:
*whimpers* Yikes.
A Quick About Me:
I'm Jess! I was not Jess last time I was here, but I am Jess now. I write under the name of Jessica Nelson Hardy but prefer Jess. My pronouns are any/all including but not limited to it/its (I've been trying it/its out lately, I like it). I default to she/her, which is fine, and don't tend to answer much to he/him, but anything goes, truly. My perception of gender is that meme where he's like, "I don't understand [thing] and at this point I'm too afraid to ask".
I'm 27 hurtling towards 28 and I recently started pursuing an ADHD diagnosis, which 40% explains most of my [makes encompassing hand gestures] issues. I am also chronically ill with diagnosed ME/CFS, which likes to regularly knock me off my feet, and I am pretty sure I suffer from PMDD, which makes 2-3 weeks out of the month intolerable. Yay! Uterus ownership perks! I am also 96% sure I am autistic, but am not currently searching for a diagnosis as I am on a 2 year ADHD diagnosis waiting list and don't want to muddy the waters when I am desperate for the ADHD diagnosis. I am suffer.
I identify as queer and disabled both and have no issue talking about either.
I'm addicted to 4theWords and World Anvil. I've recently gotten into c-dramas, particularly The Untamed/Mo Dao Zu Shi, which I wrote nearly 300k of fanfiction for in 2020. I like speculative fiction most of all, but can be talked into writing more contemporary fiction, and one of the reasons I'm enjoying c-dramas so much right now is I find them less choked than US dramas seem to be these days.
I twitch stream and I'm dropping affiliate soon so I can stream on both Twitch and YouTube and try to grow my streaming business easier. I'm mercenary little shit who has a good business mind but a lack of ability to see a lot of it through due to my disabilities. I'm working very hard to get out of a toxic home right now, which is one of the reasons why I started my writing blog, on which I plan to post my work for free to try and get more traction. I made an infinite, year-round project and word count tracking spreadsheet which I put up on Gumroad for free (well, $0+) and people seem to really like, which is nice.
Speaking of MDZS: last year in a fit of ADHD hyperactivity/insomniac mania I started MDZS Big Bang, which ended up with 300+ people in it. I'm exhausted. Why did I do this? I didn't even get to participate, I dropped out of my own Bang!
Oh, and I do art. I do art, too, yeah, that's... yep. I do art and I freelance edit. I am a Jess of All Trades.
I have a few big projects in the works that need finishing or starting or continuing, especially due to all of the above, and so... project trackers!
