skye_writerI'm not sure if it's the new med or circumstances or what. But I'm feeling better.
I had fun with my nieces on Sunday afternoon. We took them to see my sister at the hospital (she's a nurse) and one of her coworkers painted my older niece's nails. So when we got home, I showed the girls my nail polish collection, which is extensive, and they loved it. I also let my older niece pick a color for me to paint my nails. She picked green, because it's her favorite color, and I had some green glitter polish, too, so I layered that on top.
Yesterday was looooong. Got up at 3:45 so we could go see my dad off at the airport in Nashville. Had a massive pancake breakfast at a Bob Evans down there with my mom, and then when we finally got home at 8am I went to sleep for a few hours. Then I just did random stuff--cross-stitch, Stardew Valley, and so on. I also sat outside for an hour on the patio and got some writing done. So go me, on that front.
With regards to writing: I am trying to work on planning out my novel idea again. I joined a small writing group at the library, and the lady running it is encouraging us to focus on one project, so... novel. I am trying to figure out character stuff for this novel, and I'm really not sure how well it's going. To be honest, I feel like I don't know anything at all about developing characters, or even just writing stuff in general. I feel really clueless, and while that's not... that's fine, I guess, but I thought I knew what I was doing, and it turns out I really don't. So maybe that's something to bring up next month at the writing group meeting.
I do want to work on other stuff, though. The Outpost needs (NEEDS) to be finished this year, so I should really work on that. And I've still got ideas banging around for that Pacific Rim/TRON crossover. It's just a lot of stuff, and I'm not sure what to do about it all. There's that whole getting-things-started thing again. I just need to sit down and do the work, but it's hard sometimes.
But that's... whatever, I guess? It's stuff, but I'm not letting it take over my brain at the moment. I'm glad I've written something and made some progress. Hopefully I can keep doing that today and the next day and so on.
Don't really have much planned for today. I ordered some yarn for the crochet baby blanket I started, and that's getting here today, so I'm excited about that. I had to stop working on it because I was almost out of yarn, so it'll be nice to work on it again.
So that's all nice, I guess. I'm glad to be doing better, and I hope it continues.
