New month, more time!
Because I made it through January without crashing I get an extra five minutes a day to work on things! Up from 15 minutes to 20! I am, unfortunately, not able to do that consecutively yet, so I'm doing two chunks of 10 minutes a day. Also I guess we're down to every two…

My writing throughout the ages has been like
Me in 2012: The audience can interpret this, I can trust them

I know I'm relatively new to chronic illness, but I'm so surprised by the amount of grifters coming after people with little to no income. I know we're a desperate population but holy shit.

Something seemed off about the way a lot of characters in this book were written. Turns out it was published back in 2005, which means it was probably written around when I was graduating high school.
Yeah, that makes sense.

I made it through January without crashing (Due to the fun projects, anyway) so I get to spend 20 minutes a day on the fun projects now! We'll see if I can do 20 minutes continuously or if I have to split that up. #mecfs

Whoops, so much for weekly
I was planning to keep with the weekly updates, really! With the lack of my main computer, I was on a temporary computer that has a keyboard that I absolutely hate. There's keys that just don't work properly, some things are just in the wrong place, and the feeling of it…

There's keys that just don't work properly, some things are just in the wrong place, and the feeling of it all is just too sticky.

I wish I could get an export of all the sounds my blood made in that appointment. I sounded like a sci-fi video game soundtrack.

I got her some pet stairs because she's getting older. So far she has jumped up on the top step and will not touch the lower steps.

I have spent the last week convinced she was dying. One vet visit later and it turns out she is totally fine, but one of my meds causes severe anxiety. #caturday #chronicillness

I've struggled with writing older characters because I feel so bad for people whose identities revolve around their jobs, which is the case for so many career-aged people. I felt bad for myself when I was still working. Which means for now I'm capping out at college aged characters.

Working on the book 2 rewrite and if I ever get around to recording an audiobook version of this I am going to make some choices that listeners are going to hate but will make me very happy.
Look, magical translation means some people will hear different pronunciations of the same fictional words.
