fireheart13Look, it's not a month between posts!
I just reset here to no longer publish my tweets anymore. I feel like it just creates a lot of noise. If you would like to follow me on Twitter, I am @true_firesign10
I'm working away on both the story I plan to re-post on AO3 and the one for self-publishing. The AO3 story is moving along well. The self-pub story is slower. The first third is non-au, so I have to do a lot of re-structuring. Also there are a lot of scenes to add in order to fill in the blanks--fanfic gives us a lot of built-in shortcuts that an original fic does not. Once I hit the AU part, it will be MUCH easier!! I'm looking at some of the other stories I plan to adapt and thinking THANK GOD they are AU's out of the gate lol
Trying to clear out Daughter's room so it can become my office/writing/fan room. We managed to get the furniture out last month, although it is still sitting in my carport. There remain a great deal of boxes, but a lot of it is stuff I can't deal with myself (as in there's a pile already packed for her to take at some point, and also a good deal of Son's stuff that he has to go through and he keeps evading). SO a little frustrating. Mike is already looking out for a desk for me :-)
In the meantime, I write and I work on the house, organizing bits and pieces that have been awful for a long time. When one's mental energy and clarity is pretty fully restored, it's amazing what one can do.
Sleep has been an issue for me for a long time. I'm of that certain age when women often have sleep issues, plus I think I have some restless leg stuff going on. However, I recently upped my melatonin to 20mg a night, and HOLY COW what a difference it made!! I am sleeping MUCH better, and that too is enormously restorative. I'm waking up refreshed instead of still fatigued, and addressing things is much less stressful.
What is it about writing a post here that immediately makes me unable to type properly? Good grief. This is where a proper desk should help, instead of the dining room table that is all the wrong ergonomics.
