It's been a productive week for me, and I've written about 10 000 words overall for different projects. It's still a struggle to sit down and focus on writing, but it's becoming better, so I'm in a good-enough mood. Managed to finish a chapter of Salvation | Rebirth and started another, for which I've written about 1 000 words. Not as much as I'd like, but more than I expected, and I hope my progress will continue to improve.

Just wanted to talk about bicycle stuff with you all. For those who don't know, I got a bicycle for myself in May. I love it, even though I had to replace some parts to make my bicycle comfortable, and I plan to do more to it soon. It's a simple single-speed bicycle I bought for roughly 200 dollars with 28-inch wheels and pedal brakes. By now, I realized I should've spent more initially and got one with more things that I like, but I'm slowly getting to where I want to be with the bicycle.

This week, I've written about 5000 words, although they were for a project unrelated to MLP. I'm pushing through my lack of energy to do at least something, and there's some success. At the very least, I feel better because I cleaned up my room, something I've had no desire to do in months. There's still some way to go, but I think it's slowly becoming better. My sleeping schedule is going back to normal as well, although slowly. Can't say I feel more energetic - it's still winter, and I

Seasonal depression still has a hold on me, so I am lacking energy to do much more than write a couple hundred words in one week. I am mostly just reading things and all that, though I also messed up my sleeping schedule by staying up later than usual reading some nice stuff. So, I've not really done all that much work despite hoping I would start posting again in November - and it's December now.

I've written little over the past week, unfortunately, but it's better than zero. Temperatures here dropped below -25C and that does a number on me for sure. It's cold enough that I don't want to leave my room, let alone the house. I mostly want to lie in bed all day all wrapped in a nice warm blanket because, well, it's cold, and my apartment is cold because the windows are old. I also found out that when this house was built, the construction crews outright forgot to put thermal

I've done pretty much nothing all week because all I could really do is go through the day and then sleep. A bit of seasonal depression, I suppose. Snow finally fell and it won't be gone until spring, and the weather is cold, it has been below -10C for a few days now. So, all I wanted to do was just curl up in my bed, read, eat, and sleep. It will pass, but for now I just want to do essentially nothing. I also believe that I figured out what really slows down my writing - trying to create

I have written more for Salvation | Rebirth as well as some other things. The progress, as usual these days, is slow but steady. I hoped to begin posting the previous week or the next, but I think I am not quite ready. I'll deal with some life stuff as well and hopefully will resume posting before the end of the month or at least the end of the year.

I have gotten a bit sick, so I've not written much. Not really the runny-nose or coughing-sneezing kind of sick, just pretty low energy and not a good mood. Probably has a bit to do with shorter days and cold weather. Unfortunately, I live in Siberia, so snow comes early, and the winter lasts for far longer than it really should. I try to get myself busy with something, but it's difficult when everything is just kinda meh.

I've written some more for Salvation | Rebirth and I think I'll start posting it again in November, first or second week. I think I'll focus on that story until I figure out the rest.

On an unrelated note, I don't have a song for this year's Halloween. I came up with a few ideas but didn't manage to make anything that sounds good in time. It just didn't work out, unfortunately.

I've been working on Salvation | Rebirth again, and it's a bit tough because I need to get through a part I don't feel like writing to the part that I do want to write. Happens to all writers, I imagine. Aside from that, I've also been working on a project that I've not posted, though it also has some difficulties.
