I just found a fanfiction I wrote for a friend's story something like 10 years ago and it's surprisingly good. The characters are nice and some concepts are not too bad either. And it ends with a cool cliffhanger! Maybe I can recycle something into a new story?

I spent more than 20 years without a full plot for the final volume of my series AND with no clear title for every volume/the overall saga.

Today I have both. A full plot AND four titles, as well as an overall title for the series.

It feels surreal

I am still thinking obsessively about it.
And right now I have a choice:
1) I follow this idea and have a full on story with a ton of research to do
2) I follow the original idea and have a beginning and an end, but nothing in the middle

Well, some research never scared me.

Oh no, one of my AUs can actually work as a plot for the sequel.

Time to think even more obsessively about it.

Me: I can't focus on my project now, so no point in thinking obsessively about it
Also me: proceeds to make at least 3 AUs and think obsessively about them

Watched Knights of Guinevere and it's impressive. It takes some mastery to drop a 30-minute episode filled with so much lore, mysteries, secrets and Easter eggs and not make the public feel overwhelmed by it. On the contrary, everyone is ready to theorize (me included)

I was checking my vegetable garden, when I turned left and got SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME like, bro was so close he could've whispered in my ear its little cricket-y secrets

Today I'm coming back home. No more dealing with Greek shit, time to go back and deal with everyday shit.
At least there will be my cats and I'll come back to my regular habits/schedule.

It was a bit sad to leave Ithaca, but I'm also fed up with this vacation. Last time I'll come with my brother and my father together.
When I will come again, it will be by myself, to truly see the island 💙

One of those little perfect life coincidences I love: I reached #Odysseus' statue just when I was reaching the end of "Remember them" from #epic on my playlist.
Listening to Odysseus presenting himself while looking at his statue surely is an experience

Maybe it's because I'm in Ithaca, but I better understand why ancient Greeks (and Homer) emphasized how angry Poseidon was

Guess where I am going... But be warned: reaching it might be a little bit dangerous, my friend
You need a mindsеt change for this
You cannot get away with playing safe for this
You wanna get home? Put it all on the line 🎶

Final stop: #Kalamos island and the #Asprogiali beach. My favourite today: wild, untouched, with crystal clear turquoise waters. Best end of the tour

Next stop: #Kastros Island. Wonderful Sea and teeny tiny village. There are literally 3 bars, 3 restaurants, one market and one souvenir shop

Next stop: Formekoula Island, a tiny small, deserted island. We jumped in for a quick swim

This vacation is increasingly becoming more frustrating than relaxing

First day in #Lefkada. Beautiful water, amazing sea... And my father and my brother keep me on a tight leash.
Fyi I'm 35.
For always claiming #Greece is a safe place, they're surely very scared of making me walk anywhere.

On #Trizonia we have our favourite beach to stay when we visit the island. Small, with pebbles, a nice #sea and few people around: paradise 💙

Worst part about visiting #Greece: dealing with my father 24/7
Best part about Greece: #cats! Everywhere! Especially on my porch!

It's been a couple of years since my last time in Greece and it's nice to see the view is still so beautiful ❤️

A relaxing day at the water park. Just a taste of what will wait for me next week.
