So the dark beast has struck again... My archnemesis, Self Doubt, is back... . I wish he'd fuck off... Jump into a fiery, raging volcano... Or something... At least let me kick him in the nuts... Just once...

And there are days where I realize I have to revise, again….. sigh…. on the plus side, should make the story stronger. (Caution, dates/ages will change)

And I’m home. I had never realized before how essential I am, since it is apparently impossible for the household to function unless I am there to be the chauffeur, cook, laundry person, and all-around dogsbody. I’m going to fire my family, although the corgi can stay.

The older I get, the more I see that my family members are human and flawed. They kinda suck actually I know exactly what you mean… We live 10 minutes from my grandma and she’s been really sick. She’s in the same situation as me with my grandpa. He sits in his chair all day watching TV while Grandma runs around taking care of of their big house and their hyper dog. So she’s in and out of the hospital now and I’ve been going over to take care of her place. I’m doing shopping for 2 households, cleaning for 2, taking care of my 4 cats and grandma’s dog 3 times a day. I’m not working… So i thought I’d start trying to concentrate on writing… Thank god for google docs on my phone, that’s the only way I’m able to write constantly inbetween the hospital and grandma’s house and my apartment. I’m not sure what your business entails, but when family doesn’t support your ambitions, it’s doubly discouraging. and Oh god… When they guilt you to do things, it’s super annoying! Kudos on you for having mom move in with you. Jesus, I’m so glad to escape Grandpa at the end of the day. He barks orders at me and when I try to respond, I realize he’s not even wearing his hearing aid. I have to scream at him just to get him to understand what I’m trying to say... I’m sorry I rambled on your status. I’m going away now!!!

So the job program I’m in, that’s been taking up all my time and getting in the way of me writing awesome shit, is going to end in 2 weeks. Right on my birthday. Part of me really hopes I get a job out of this. Nothings more stressful than wondering how you’re going to survive the month.
But a huuuuge part of me – the big fat hermit with the mullet and the shotgun that lives in the back of my shoulders – wants to get time to myself again. I miss being able to stay up all night, writing for 10 hours straight, and following that with a 4 hour betaing session for friends. I’ve been a writer for 18 years – more than half my life. I have no idea how the majority of you guys are able to work all day and still have the mental capacity to churn out a page or two. -

Time in the story where I most frequently have existential crises, and question all the skills I’m normally (over)confident of…? The first. Frickin. Sentence.
And yes. I deleted and redid this status because of a typo. FML.

Realised my nipples were rather sensitive today. I have no idea what that means. Just as long as I’m not pregnant!

For an experiment into how far my self-editing has come, thirteen chapters posted is definitely something. (Would love to get back to BaH, but I’m on too much a roll with Come Hell or High Water, lol.) Here’s to thirteen more (and beyond).
