Happy Halloween and Merry Inktober!
Added 2018-10-31 12:47:22 +0000 UTCAnd tomorrow, the dreaded and awaited NaNoWriMo starts, so! As always, I’m not going to be able to update fic as much as I usually do. I think I have like, one fic lined up for uploading this Friday, but that’s prewritten from October, not November, and normally, I’d just yell We Multitask Like Men! and have at everything I’m doing right now + NaNoWriMo, but life happens and I don’t think I can take a lot of stress right now, so I’m not going to.
Please do not be alarmed that I’m doing NaNo even when I’m at a not-very-good state through, because I recognize that my current line of thinking would get worse when I’m left doing nothing, because then I’d just be trapped in my own head and dealing with an echo chamber. I recognize that the safest way for me to deal with things right now is to put my focus on things that make me happy and things that I have motivation for - and don’t cause damage to my body in some roundabout way to make myself suffer more. I’m sleeping way earlier than I used to, and I’m scheduling my meals and making sure I don’t forget them, and am snacking too so I like to think I’m kicking my insomnia and my eating disorder’s ass.
NaNoWriMo is also one of the very few things I’m very excited for right now, so that’s why I’m more pumped than ever to do it! Do I have a plan? Do I have a concept? Yes. And I’ve always been a pantser, although there are stories I do intense research and planning for (cough ALFG cough), but I also make sure there’s wiggle room for me to stretch out some new ideas if I ever need to put them in.
Anyway, thanks for understanding if there’s no updates for Lullaby this month! And good luck to my fellow writers tackling our clan’s traditional bloodsport.
