Houses and Doors

I find it very funny that I need to completely change my music to be in the correct mood to work on anything for NtC. Sad too, but mostly funny. Some of my music was also on loop for Catch & Release as well. I got the idea for it while humming along with an… Continue reading

In Expectation

Still recovering from my editing binge. Took my required medication tonight… so there is that. I’m starting to get frustrated with all the research I find myself having to do. Medical techniques, medical equipment… medical terms. Researching for locations and symptoms. And now I’m trying to revise and tweak a birth scene! I honestly thought… Continue reading

My Castle

I’m what my father refers to as “crazy.” What a great way to start a conversation, huh? Or a blog post. This is my second day of not speaking with him on any platforms at all. I spoke with a couple of my friends instead… and that proved to be enough. I sometimes think of… Continue reading

Can’t Stop This Feeling

Exhaustion. Exhilaration. Embarrassment. Excitement. All of these are words I can use to describe how I’m feeling right now. I’m exhausted because I’ve spent most of my entire day editing for NtC. I’m exhilarated because I’ve revised up to chapter 21 out of 23. Which means that I’ve actually edited for three of the five… Continue reading

I’ll Give It All To You

Apparently… I do have readers on fanfiction.net. I was completely unaware, seeing as the viewer ticker is borked. So… I guess I’ll have to rescind my decision to up and dip out on that website. Fortunately, I had the idea in mind… already… to have the documents in different files. I’m currently going down the… Continue reading

A Fool For You

Tired. So very tired. My psychiatrist told me that taking my hydroxyzine is not voluntary to take… it’s mandatory. Hmm… Did I say that yesterday?? I’ve no clue. I took it early… but felt like fresh roadkill this morning. It was rough… I’ve been tired and dragging all day. I nearly fell asleep about twenty… Continue reading

Lost And Found

The kitten is now home! Huzzah! I’ve already been scratched and bitten three times. So, I’m using a very gentle touch with her now. And after that, she was all over me, kneading everything. I also am getting a partial refund on her services too—because of the time I picked her up. With the super… Continue reading

Can You Pay My Bills

So… my day was sorta off to a sucky start. Someone was allowed ahead of me for my psychiatry appointment. She put in my prescription, but the pharmacy sent me a text telling me the meds wouldn’t be available until January 2024. I headed home, decided to play with my kitten to wear her out… Continue reading

Plaques

So… my plaque for completing the NanoWrimo contest showed up. I think I’m more excited about that, than I am about the Nano shirt! For some wild reason, I assumed that the wood would be just painted and not engraved. But… touching it and smelling the thing. It gave me a feeling I never thought… Continue reading

I Want It All

…and I want it now. Is that too much to ask for? I pressed myself so hard last night until I squeaked. But… I nearly edited 10 chapters in one day. So… Oh, I mean 10 chapters of Navigating the Curve. I’ve already written down notes on continuity issues I’m finding. A downside? I’m going… Continue reading
