What do you call it if you have two Author~y Dabbles in two days? Is it double dipping? Can you really do that?

I realized something while I was relaxing after my last blog post. I never explained why my Dabbles on here started at number 4. It’s funny in a way. Sort of. I initially started the Dabbles as a way to distinctly label and mark my internal musings as I spoke them into existence.

I have permanent nerve damage on one side, so writing by hand can be both excruciating and illegible. I never thought I’d use a notebook for much of anything because after about half a page – that’s it. My writing hand is already worn, and I deal with soreness in the wrist. My fingers go numb when I try to write.

It’s not a very nice feeling.

Such a shame. I used to have such good handwriting in high school.

So… Instead of writing out my Dabbles and being frustrated, I verbalize them. Dabbles #s 1-2 are likely located on my older phone that I no longer have a charger for. Dabbles #3 is located on SoundCloud, and I debate downloading it and putting it up on my podcast. It is a legitimate recording of myself… but it was more of an extremely disorganized stream of consciousness.

I don’t know what I was thinking about.

I want to remember that I feel good today, aside from the fatigue. I finally uploaded chapter 9 of Navigating the Curve. It can be found on Fanfiction(dot)net and ArchiveOfOurOwn. This story is THE largest thing I’ve ever written. EVER. It has over 96,000 words, is over 200 pages in PDF form and I’m only on chapter 9.

If you don’t know what Navigating the Curve is about… Peter Parker (Spider-Man) finds himself thrown into another universe. Not only is he seemingly stuck there, but he finds out that an alternate version of himself had a relationship with his friend Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk). There’s a lot more in the fic than that, but don’t take my word for it. Check it out for yourself.

I’ve described myself as biased in a sense. I really… really enjoy my own writing, but I’m a harsh critic against myself. Though I don’t grill myself as neatly as some of my commenters. That’s not a complaint either. I really appreciate their honesty and have stated in my chapters that I do welcome constructive criticism.

One of them offered excellent advice… which I unfortunately can’t remember right now. I suppose I have to look back and figure out if I listened to their suggestions.

I hope I did.

I’ve exchanged PMs with a few of them, not an unwelcome experience.

This evening (or afternoon?) I’m trying to remember how well I’ve felt for the majority of this month.

The increased dosage on my medication begins tomorrow. I hope I remain as lucid as I have been.

It’s so strange.

The dosage is only 50 milligrams higher, but the pills themselves are twice over the size of the original dose I was on.

I hope this doesn’t nerf my creativity.

I referred my readers to this blog so they could keep track of what I’m up to. No idea if any of them will find me (or try), but it was worth a mention.

Until next time.
