KOTD Chapter 13 edited and other life stuff · 10:43am Dec 16th, 2017
Not much to fix here except once again I being way too many sentences with "I did this". I spruced up some descriptions and completely erased entire sentences that were just...kind of awkward. It's nice rereading everything. I knew how it all looked in my head but it doesn't always come across that way, but this is how we learn isn't it? The size of this chapter kept me from editing it for quite some time. So I took tonight and made a thousand words worth of progress here and there and took plenty of breaks. Eventually, the chapter was finished and I can enjoy the smaller 2-3k word chapters that are coming up. I might edit a few more before tossing out the newest chapter. I know I said I'd stop posting new content until editing was finished, but A: i'm okay with where the book is at in its editing phase and B: I HATE staying away from KOTD. It's my escape. It's freedom from this world that seems to only want to spew negativity at me.
So today marks a very important day.
#1 I started my anti-depression meds a few days ago. Yeah it was a long time coming. My awesome roommate and best friend Mandi said I had been in an extra depressed mood the last three weeks. No energy for anything, nothing sounded appealing. Finding something to do until bed time was excruciating. I've never been glad to be at work, because at least while I'm here, I'm killing time while working instead of just wasting it.
#2 Starting the keto diet. My weight isn't where I want it to be. The keto diet consists of three basic principles. TONS of protein, 30g of carbs a day, all the calories you want. Heard lots of good things so I'm giving it a go. I know starting meds and a new diet is probably not the best strategy, but when I saw my weight when I went to the docs office for my meds, I knew it was time.
Thank you everyone for your patience. I know new content is slow to get out, but I'm FAAAR from abandoning KOTD.
