When are I written? June 11, 2022.
What am me done? Eating grapes.
It’s a bit after 1 in the morning, but after I take my medicine, I won’t be up till nearly 8am.
Have had several terrible moments in the last few weeks. The latest one was my father being in yet another car accident. This was on the 1st this month. This time, he emerged with a fracture near his foot.
It’ll heal with time. Fine and dandy, right? Save for the fact that he’s nearly 70 years of age.
And the cause of the crash was him passing out behind the wheel. I suggested he not drive if he had a medical reason and he flew off the handle… insulted me. So, I did what I normally do when the disagreement is bad and the other person refuses to clear the air. I got off the phone and have been off it ever since.
Starting on the 8th-9th of May, I’ve been back and forth with swinging between moderately okay to just being an emotional wreck.
I don’t like being like that and so as to avoid it, I’m avoiding the source of the problem… which is that particular side of my family – apparently.
When upset, I tend to write to soothe myself and now I’ve just pushed through Chapter 13 of Navigating the Curve. It’s so sad… I’m near the end of the story. At least as far out as I have it planned.
No, the next chapter is not the last.
It’s time for me to resume editing on the main story.
I had a shortlist of what I wanted to do with NtC between building new chapters:
- Trying to figure out the date issue, in terms of timing.
- Renaming some of the chapters.
- Editing chapters 1-9, because they need a lot more revision than the later chapters. Chapters 10-13 need help too, but in that case… it could be a missing word or a typo/missing letter.
- Obtain red pens, because I’ve gone old school and am now printing the chapters out to edit them.
- Additional documents/tables/handwritten notes for ideas.
- Preplanning for gore.
What about my IT stuff? I’m going to try to work on that between my writing spurts… if I can sit still long enough.
I’m at the point that I dream about Peter and Jen now sometimes. Wishing I was a fly on the wall in my fanfic. It’s soo sappy and sweet and makes me extremely happy to read over it.
And I am my biggest fan after all.
Will I voice this particular blog post? Possibly. It’s interesting to see what I’ll sound like reading all of this.
Till next time!

… Wait a minute, that’s the wrong signature. Thought I might just shift over to “J Lyst” for consistency’s sake. After all, this blog is called: “Hey, Miss J! Musings From Miss Lyst”.
Ta!
