“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.” —Earl Nightingale
One of my favorite candies is actually Kopiko. It’s this super tasty cappuccino flavored candy from Indonesia. Normally, I use it to keep myself awake. The first time I had one was probably around 2018 or 2019? I’m uncertain. There’s many benefits to eating or even just sucking on one.
Since it’s real coffee, I get real energy.
Of course, I can then expend that energy as I see fit.
I have three assignments to complete this week. The last one relies on information from the one tonight.
It’s odd. I thought I wouldn’t like having such a restrictive schedule… but it is ultuimately up to me how closely I follow it.
I also started working on chapter 17, and I’m a solid 5 pages in after an hour or so. I’ll be doing another 5 pages if I can… Or not. Either one.
Got a meeting tonight and more assignments.
My chill mittens cause additional inflammation if worn too long.
I’m about to take one of my happy pills and get back to this mentally vexing story. It’s difficult because I’ve never written a fanfic for this many chapters in a row… and certainly not for so many pages.
I’ve never been so obsessed with a story like this.
Thank you to everyone who takes time to read Navigating the Curve. At chapter 16, it’s nearly 600 pages long.
Don’t believe me? Here’s the link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25820569 or https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13667760/1/Navigating-The-Curve
Judge for yourself!
Here’s hoping that after it’s done, I have enough juice to finish Open Arms.
I’ve been told before that I’m not earning money through my writing… but I still do it because I like it. I can’t help that.
