...just realized I'm so out of it I started work at my usual alarm time instead of noon...

plus, my work playlist means I get to listen to måneskin's good album

habitica seems to be helping slightly, at least, I did clear out my largely ignored emails, and hopefully more busy work might make me want to try writing later

another rough start to the day 😔 woke up early, only for my morning activities—accompanying my mom to where she's working and reading—to be canceled, and spent most of the morning in a fog

maybe habitica will finally fix me? /lh

I don't remember it being this hard to get into it last year when I first started.

at least I'm still working on writing stuff instead of simply giving up, I guess.

woke up this morning feeling totally ready for work, then realized I missed my start time by ten minutes before even finishing breakfast, and then spiralled until I was so out of it I could only post a fanfic and scroll through social media.

linktr.ee/elliscavenau... would seem that bluesky doesn't have a place to put a link in profiles, so

I also finally set up a story to publish on Tapas! I made a more in depth post on instagram, but the link to check it out on Wednesday is in my linktree.

back with my first day of writing after taking nearly two months off from burnout. still so distractible, ended up probably spending about as much time fixing my makeup as actually writing, but progress is progress and hopefully I'll get back into the rhythm soon.

I pull from all over the medieval period for my fantasy world, though sometimes later if I find a need—ie. when I want to do pirate stuff, I do lean more age of sails as necessary.

Have just realized, I have not plotted act three or four for my second novel, so that might slow things down a touch, whoops

An F/F romance in a medieval fantasy setting about healing from homophobic environments, the power of community and friendship, the complexities of female relationships, and getting railed so hard

I have absolutely no clue how to work this fact into where I am now, I'll have to review my beats now, whoops

the fun thing about having multiple calendars and having them start to come up with foreign characters is going to update one and learning that one of the main characters has a birthday in just over a week

(this post required heavy editing to remove yapping, which is why I was never that active on twitter or threads before 😅)

First workday of Feb's almost done, so Feb goals time.

Drafting my second novel, to finish in Feb.
Also, finalizing edits on my first novel to get to beta readers in Mar.
Finally, a new serialized project, I need to find the right time to work on it to not spend all day drafting, and post by March.
