Slowly getting there. Writing desire is coming in strong waves though I'm pushing myself a little harder than I maybe should. XD Still, it feels good getting stuff done again so it's worth it.

I'm 3/4s of the way through the chapter. Got all of the heavy/light emotional stuff out of the way and now it's time to write the dual finale.

I'm expecting to get more done today, maybe the full chapter if I'm lucky. I can feel the mood bubbling up.

Also I think this breakdown in the chapter is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write. I imagine a lot of us have been where Fear is in this one.

Almost exactly how I imagined all the characters to look. :) It's perfection.

Made by my friend Inconspicuous! He's a really cool guy and it's based on what I told him of the two novels. :) Well, more like Fear's personality and the lessons he's learned. The general feel of his journey of highs and lows.

Turns out I've let things get a little out of hand. On the DSMH test I'm at about a 9.5 to a 10 and I need at least an 8 to be accepted through the screening process for therapy. So I'm going to seek out therapy even if it's by phone before things get even worse. And I might be underestimating my symptoms a little so more reason to do it. Sorry for no updates lately, but taking care of everyone and having my own emotions severely exacerbated has been knocking out my energy heavily.

Guess who it is?! He's wearing the formal wear (aside from the emerald cloak) from Abyssinia: Of Dates and Acceptance (Part 2). With gauntlets/greaves.

I commissioned it last month from Am Hydra and it's nearly complete. It showcases all the changes that have happened up to this point in the story.

Things didn't work out quite like I expected and I haven't gotten any writing done the past few days, just some planning. I'm gonna try REALLY hard to get the muse flowing in these following days, but atm I can't promise too much. In the meantime if anyone wants some good stories you haven't read yet, I recommend Soufriere's Sunset Recovery Arc series and/or Fullmetal Pony's My Little Academia. If you want any other great recommendations let me know and I'll throw them in the comments!

Today was the most productive day as far as caring for myself that I've had in awhile. I've gone from 10% energy to 50% energy. It took awhile to get to this point to where I could care for myself, but it's working out.

All of you make sure you take time for yourselves too. <3 It's important to stay in tip top shape. You can't do physical/mental/emotional labor all the time. Hopefully I'll be back to writing full stop in a couple days.

Some fanart a friend shared with me. It was quick sketches and done for laughs but I really enjoyed it. I love anything people do because they enjoy my writing.

Break's been lasting a little longer than I expected, and with my lorazepam running out soon and having to deal with that, I might not have the full mood to hammer out a bunch of word vomit. I'm intending to get back to it soon, but I wanna see how the next few days go before I make any solid plans.

Next month. I'm taking a small break from writing given I got 4 chapters done this month. I'm gonna spend the off time working on my Monster Seduction dice manual that I intend to publish eventually. I'm at about 10/25 monsters for my part. So... close to done.

Sorry about leaving off on a cliffhanger. :P I promise updates resume sometime early next month, or, if I just can't help myself and do a bunch of writing, sometime late this month.

Everyone tells you not to compare yourself, and that's a huge truth. But sometimes you're not going to be able to avoid it, so all you can do is avoid the materials that make you compare yourself. Sometimes it's a gut clench reaction that occurs when you least expect it. You think you're completely at peace and comfortable with your own skills, but then you look at someone more popular than you, who does almost the exact same thing as you, and you realize you're not really at peace with it

A friend of mine thought that this was good content, but my proofreader thought I should cut it because it repeats some things. So I decided I'll leave it here for all of you to make of it what you will.

Going to be postponed. My proofreader got a look at it and I badly need to cut out the first section or at least completely overhaul it. Fundamentally modify the second section to get my intent across better, and probably fix a number of other issues without, hopefully, completely rewriting the entire fucking thing from scratch.

For the end of chapter Q&A I'm running out of built up questions to answer, so if any of my audience have things they want to ask the characters, now's the time to do it!

Just waiting to be proofread. I'm thinking I can also get chapter 10 done this month but we'll see. Looking back over my notes it turns out it's actually not going to be as long of a chapter as I first expected.

Then again I said that to myself about previous chapters like Seer Entertainment and look what happened to that. :P

Hopefully I'll have it published soon. I've given it to my proofreader. I'm very satisfied with it but we'll see if he likes it too.

I'll try to get a second chapter done this month, but we'll see. :) Either way, merry Christmas y'all when it comes out. <3

I've been off and on depressed lately, far more sensitive to things than usual, and I wasn't sure what the reason was until tonight when I had a conversation about it with my therapist. Turns out I've been so excited and distracted by Christmas that I've been unable to think of much else - easily at least - but I've also been so torn between that and wanting to get stuff done like writing, that I've been depressed because I can't have both, I've been being hard on myself over my incapacity to
