Currently paying the price of not being able to sleep. Headaches, the fear that I'll crash while driving due to my fatigue--

It's that bad guys and gals. I'll be back in a few hours to tell you if I did not crash. It's most likely that I won't, but I don't know. Getting this feeling that if I am dropped off, the better off I am. As I type this blog, I am unable to type properly. It took me way longer to type this post. I think I missed the keyboard a couple of times.

I have been so desperate now to get back to writing for such a long time but I just cannot seem to get myself to sit at my PC, in peace and quiet, with free time all to myself, and actually type anything. I keep mulling over the aspects of the story that I do have a lot of notes for. The next chapter is of course all planned out - I just need to sit my arse into my office chair, and actually construct something with those ideas, beyond just complaining about not being able to do so.

For the past six months, I've been unable to work or write much. Now I know why.

Mood.

I have an illness called myalgic encephalomyelitis or "chronic fatigue syndrome" (ME/CFS). This blog post talks about what that is, and what it means for my future.

So, with my former living quarters currently undergoing renovations, and with my usual bed and mattress currently lacking any space to use them (our house isn't that large), I have been sleeping less soundly than I'm accustomed to.

But that feel when the fifth vote on a story you poured your heart and soul into is a downvote:

The first edition of my Lovely Darkness book is sold out (I had been taking orders in the comments below). Due to medical reasons, I don't know when I'll be able to revise the book for Lulu so it may be a while before I'm able to sell again. Hopefully before January I can finish the update, but no promises.

It's official: I'm not teaching this semester. I'll be on Family Medical Leave, accurately abbreviated FML.

If they figure out my severe fatigue, I might be able to start writing productively again (and I'd have time off for it). In the meantime, I'm slowly working on two stories—one very important.

Yeah, question mark. this chapter/episode has taken a lot longer than the others, it feels like, and it definitely feels like i'm too close to it. I can't tell if its actually right or not.

First off, I've discovered that Cinnamon Tea is actually a historic character in FiM, which fits the story Forever Young perfectly—except...

This video proves that the Star Wars burnout is already here and I have been predicting this for a while.

Welcome back writers! As work continues getting Axtara – Magic and Mischief (I still miss Mayhem, but we’ll be getting a BaBW post on that next week) that hasn’t stopped Being a Better Writer from delivering!

I'm sort of working through it tonight. Thank you, the Power of Clop, to motivate me with a complex string of mildly negative emotions into writing horse words! This is literally the most words in one sitting I've managed in 2+ weeks.

Stay frustrated.

Art Inspired is in trouble due to unexpected unemployment. I don't think I remembered to signal boost them previously and the GFM they set up has achieved its goal, but it never hurts to add a little.

Now, Trotcon!

...yeah I'm going to be having a rough weekend. I can't make it there Friday.
