Hitting My Stride??

Am I maybe, finally, hitting my stride when it comes to Demon Kin: The Lovers??

No. No, I absolutely am not.

And I felt so confident when I first wrote that sentence. I was moving things along for the plot. Conflicts with other characters were about to be exacerbated. People were finally going to start dying. I was ready for it. Here for it. Thought I finally found my groove...

Life sucks. Work sucks. This has been a shitty, shitty week. I want to fall into a hole and stay there forever. I'm getting intense cabin fever and I'm sick of pretty much every aspect of my life and would desperately like to escape.

So yeah...

On the plus side, I am still writing. We're over 120 days strong. I am getting more toward the major conflict of the book. I got my delicious physical altercation between two characters. And yeah, things are actually moving ahead. So it doesn't feel quite so off that I've hit my stride. But also, editing this book is going to suuuuuuuck. But it'll also be great because I won't have to do a FULL rewrite. (I don't think.) Everything, so far, is pretty much how I imagined it to be, I'll just have to trim a lot of fat off of this steak to make it more palatable for everyone else. The biggest issue is how tired I've been. I've not been sleeping well and having weird, anxiety-ridden dreams when I do sleep. Even sitting here now, in the middle of the day, I'm wanting to close my eyes while I type. (lol, just kidding, I'm already doing it.) Another big thing is that there are movies and shows I want to watch. There are games I want to play. There are places I want to go and people I want to see, but it feels like I don't have time for any of that. So I'm trying to get some of my shit together long enough to do even one or two of those things.

So, today's plan for the moment is to finish this blog post. Go write. And then maybe play sims while watching a show. Or saying 'screw it' and just watching the show. Oh. I have to fit dinner in there somewhere. No sims, then, because that takes too long to load and idk what I want to do on there anyway other than look at all of the things I've built.

Anyway, still have to go write. Here's a parting gift:
