Well today I received a rejection for a query I sent 2.5 years ago, so to honor this moment I would just like to say that publishing is a journey make sure you have a lot of snacks
In other news I spent a portion of yesterday evening building a tiny Harry Potter scene and yes it was the absolute highlight of my week - but why is there no HP emojis?? 🤓🏛⚔️✨
I have three main tasks to complete tonight - open enrollment, scheduling the follow up appt to check how I’m doing on my ADHD meds 3 mos in (totes GLORIOUS except what is an appetite?), and making/consuming dinner.
Ask me how long I’ve been sitting here trying to start.
ASK ME.
@BetweenDPages It was exceedingly long which was tough for both me and my ADHD lol usually I have to read cover to cover or else forget what it’s about- but it was interesting yet also calming somehow and I loved the uniqueness of everything. The footnotes were hard to navigate but were cool!
1) forget to take meds for 20 mins
2) go and get meds, set them down by you and forget to take them
3) 15 mins later realize this, take meds out of reminder box
4) realize 10 mins later you’re just sitting there talking, meds in hand untaken
ADHD in a nutshell 🙄😂
I am about to embark on the adventure of consuming something I’ve never tried before, but it looks suspiciously like something I could fall for pretty seriously...
Here is my exciting news! Writing this story was a really emotional, intricate, fascinating experience and I’m super proud of it and delighted/honored/all squiggly inside that other people liked it too!
Okay I accidentally waited longer than I meant to because my sense of time is terrible and I was almost late to pack OCC shoeboxes in my Grinch shirt 😂
Anyways...hey old friends. I’m not going to say I’m *back* because I can’t even seem to get more than 5 hrs of sleep a night right now let alone post things but I might be backish?
With some news.
Probably not the news you’re thinking.
But still super cool news! 📰
YOU GUYS I DID IT I FINISHED NANO WITH THIS TRASHFIRE HOT MESS SHERLOCK STORY and wow it is so so bad but also WOW it is actually taking on a somewhat book-like shape this is magic I need candy
Me: I have a new book idea so I need a new notebook!
Human: but you only write on your laptop?
Human: and you have dozens of unused notebooks??
Me: [furiously clutching notebook] I NEEDED A NEW NOTEBOOK.

In 1000 more words I can stop. It’s not the eight thousand I wanted to do but it will get me within 5k of the nano finish line.
