Progress?

It took four days (more than that if you count the time I spent putting it off), but I'm finally done fixing one of my longest and most cringeworthy entries ever! :D

Now I just have 449 to go... I hope there aren't many more that are as long as that one. Off the top of my head I can already think of 18 more entries that are going to take a while to fix. :(

I'm glad most of my entries aren't that long... I couldn't bear the thought of it taking another 4×449=1,796 days to fix all my entries. By July 5, 2023 (1,796 days from now) everyone probably will have left both LJ and DW and moved to a third website, and all my work would be for nothing. And every webcomic I ever read would be gone by then. :(

Even if they do it will be due for a reason of their choosing. You can't impact that and their movement won't reflect their opinion on you at all.It seems to me you spend a lot of your time chasing the past and failing to blog and live in the present. And the more you do that the less likely people are to connect with you in the now and maintain connections with you on the platforms you want them to.

I didn't mean to imply that I thought people would leave LJ and DW as soon as I got all of my entries showing up correctly on both sites because I'm on both sites. I doubt it'll even coincidentally happen around the time I get done fixing my entries. I just put that in as a reflection of how it takes me so long to finish anything.

Yes, I do spend a lot of time chasing the past, but I don't feel like I have any choice. I mean, I don't spend all my time in the past - I do keep up with work in the present and such - but I feel like I've procrastinated so many things, for so long, that the only way to feel better about it is to catch up on as much of it as possible. Which has helped me feel better about it - I'm feeling better right now than I would if I hadn't spent any time catching up on what I want to catch up on.
