Soooo... I've realized a couple things. First, I've been stressing about how to accomplish something in the story, only to realize that I don't have to. It's a thing that I can do on small ways throughout, instead of hitting you over the head with it. Second thing I realized? I need to completely rewrite the beginning, I just don't like it. Not that it's...

Just when I think I'm beginning to understand the meltdowns, and I'm able to stop them before they get too serious...
Usually I'm able to recognize that something is wrong. I'll feel the overstimulation, or whatever is starting to bother me, and I'll be able to work to stop it. But this fucking time.
No idea what happened. Just spent the last hour desperately trying...

Why does it look like she's my editor getting ready to make changes?
Not sure how I got stuck with candy duty this Halloween, but here I sit. Is it enough to keep occupied and have time pass quickly? Are there enough to at least see interesting costumes? No. And also, no. Halloween just hasn't been the same since I was a kid. Kind of sad. I don't even get to go anywhere to see the sexy costumes....

So, I just wrote this. And I didn't expect it to make me cry. But I basically just wrote my own suicide. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not doing it. I'm okay. But years ago, I wasn't okay, and I very nearly did it.
Context! Right! Sorry!
The story I'm working on, one of the characters commits suicide. It's unfortunately necessary for the story. But I've...

So, yesterday my brother's new girlfriend invited us to a holistic fair. Used to be the kind of thing that I would have laughed at, but these days, I was actually grateful for the invite. Especially since she got is in for free, and there was a sound bath scheduled.
I was actually a little disappointed in the main part. I thought, maybe I'd find...

Been trying to write today to moderate success. But it's constantly being derailed by this little orange monster wanting attention. I love it, of course. Except when she decides that she wants to type too... I've had to delete some Ludo edits from the work.
I'm just glad that what I was working on today was something violent. Had a bad couple of days, and

You know, even if nobody ends up reading this story I'm working on. Even if I never manage to finish it. I'm so glad that I'm writing it. I just added another, maybe 6 pages worth to it? And I really haven't felt this good in a long time. Every time I manage a solid chunk of work like this, it just feels so amazing....

So, I had a fairly eventful weekend. Well, eventful for me. I think it was a week or two ago that my brother was planning to go to a horror convention happening in our city. And I'm a moment of pure stupidity, I asked if I could go too. He, of course, agreed and got me a ticket. Now, fast forward a bit, and I...

What is it about creation that is somehow both exhausting, and extremely gratifying? I was bad, I didn't write today. But then a couple hours ago instead of going to sleep, I started writing a part of the story I'm working on. And yes, it took a couple of hours. My legs and back were very mad at me when I finally got up. But...

My god, I didn't know that I needed synthwave in my life, but I needed it. It started with a duo I kept seeing on tiktok, who I took notice of because they are a Mexican American group, and hey, we gotta support our own. Glass Spells is the name of that one. I enjoyed it, and added them to my YouTube music library. Then...
