I still don't have a solid writing schedule. I'm thinking of picking a time or two during the week to snarl at my family that mommy needs her writing time. I have made scattered progress here and there, not just for the AJ/Sun fic (which is my priority atm, being so close to finished) but also for my Eerie Lantern fic! I even had a mind to resurrect my pirate pony fic.
Life still isn't ideal atm. I'm in a more stable environment, but still not in a permanent home. Middle of April, I'm hoping to have my own space. With that, it'll be easier to assert new routines.
Just keep your fingers crossed guys! Maybe 2023 will be the year I make a return to a steady writing flow again.
I’m sorry that things have been so non-agreeable and tough in your life the last while, I hate to hear that. I hope that things get better and you’re able to find some sense of smooth stability, if not to write but just for yourself. Everyone deserves that.
I wanted to say I’m really getting into your Overpriced Writing Advice posts. I haven’t read them all, but the ones I’ve read have been great. I’d love to know if you have any plans to continue those too?

Thank you for the kind words.
I do very much want to continue that series! I'm at a point where the topics I discuss (because I've covered a lot of the meat and potatoes) must be really specific. The romance post is still something I know I could do, but it's a big topic, and I don't want to mess it up. Lately, I haven't got the energy for that. I had an idea the other night, actually, to talk about something else, but in the maelstrom of my life I, unfortunately, forgot it. We'll see if it comes back to me.
But long-windedly, yes, I'd love to do more. If you have any topics you'd like to suggest, I could always look into it!

Personally, I always like learning more about show don't tell. Also trying to find the line between flowery prose and overly descriptive writing too. Sometimes, just from personal experience, I can go off on these tangents instead of just saying "So-and-So frowned,". Sometimes less is more, right?
Again, I'm really sorry you're feeling so taxed as of late, it's really tough out there and your mental health and physical wellbeing should for sure take precedent. I hope you can catch a break and start to feel better.
