Ongoing…

With my house full of family and the craziness of holy week approaching, it’s been quite difficult to manage much of anything. And also, ever since we came back from out surprise vacation in Italy, I’ve been a bit off. I’ve been blaming it on jet lag and on just how much we did and visited while in Italy (it was a racket, so much stuff packed into every day @.@) but I think that I just need some time to myself. Like, what I need is some peace and quiet and the way that all my family keeps visiting and doing stuff left and right is not conducive to peace and quiet. I’m thinking that maybe I’ll take some days off to go somewhere quiet. But maybe not right now, since Holy Week is right around the corner and everywhere is going to be packed. In fact, I think I might go to mexico city to stock up on some pantry stuff that I need because everybody’s going to be fleeing the city, so it’ll be a good time to enjoy the quiet.

Also, I have to finish my car’s government verification on saturday which is gonna be such a damn hassle.

Anyway, in terms of the writing I am finally finishing the copyright paperwork that I’d been dealing with so publishing can finally get going.

I’m also working on my first draft writing calendar (which I should have already been working on since the beginning of the year, but I suck) and planning stuff all the way into 2025. It turns out that all the books I still need to write are books I’m very excited for, but also books for which I don’t have even outlines completed, so I’m both excited and terrified.

One of them is Remade Anew 3, for which I do have a lot worked out. I completed it all the way until the very beginning of the climax so I might try to work on that one while I fiddle with the outline of Evening Star (Morning Star? Have I made my mind up?)

I’ve also started work on SoulShattered2 and it’s ok, but the going is so slow because I’m so hesitant about the beginning. I’ve been wrangling with whether or not I’m gonna put a prologue and it was annoying me so much being on the fence about it that I just started working on the prologue and the book in different documents. It helped and I have been managing a good work on them with around 6-7k between both, but then I ran into some issues. The beginning for that book is so, so, so annoying. I think it’s gonna be my weakest beginning to a book ever.

Thinking about it, the beginning for Evening Star is a bit weak too, but I think that’s just because I have so many plot threads to deal with that I’m tying myself up into a mess before even starting.

I think I’m getting sick with something because my stomach has been very much Not Happy. I hope it’s nothing too serious. The last thing I need right now is for my health to take a turn for the worst, as it so often does.

Hmmm, to be honest my health hasn’t crashed and burned lately, so maybe it’s about time for something to go wrong with my body.
