This is not just going to be an update on how my my story is doing, but a bit of a health update as well. They do seem to be somewhat linked after all... A few months ago (back in May, I think?), I started experiencing really bad heartburn and acid reflux. I was also pretty overweight, so that might have been a small factor in it. I've since dropped close to 20 pounds by getting out and walking. I think something a bit more serious might be wrong with me though. I'm unable to eat tomatoes or anything made with tomatoes for that matter, I can't have anything spicy anymore (and I loved putting hot sauce on everything), and even black pepper burns my throat. My mom thinks I might have an ulcer.
Sorry about the huge rant. I had to get that all off my chest. So, you're probably wondering how this all ties in with my writing. Well, despite the medication I'm on that is supposed to help with the problem, my brain likes to make things out to be worse than they are and I spiral into a sad, depressive episode and everything suffers including my writing lately. I've been stuck at 400 words for the current chapter, which is nowhere near where I'd like it to be to be happy with it.
I think I need help...
