As I feared, even looking at the laptop or PC for 5 or 10 minutes is making me feel ill right now. I'm going to have to take a break from DA for 3 or 4 days until my head gets right again. I'll try doing some traditional art in the mean time...
I'm just so frustrated. I was 1 hard day's work away from finishing this edit. It's infuriating... but there are worse things in the world.
I'll be back in a few days, although I will keep trying to upload what I draw.

I had a migraine AGAIN late this afternoon >( GAH WHY I need to finish this edit now I've started it But I might have to slow down or stop for a day or two. I tried to keep reading my book on jesters and even that was giving me trouble. I am so annoyed right now. :T
If I don't do any better tomorrow I might revert to doing traditional art for a few days like I did last time I had this problem.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU-

So I had a migraine last night. o.o I think I may have tried to do too much at once. >.< So I'm still trying to get on, but I'm taking it easy today.. and I reeeally want to draw. SO. MUCH.

40 pages today!

IT'S DONE IT'S DONE OMG!!
Edit 4 is DONE.
Okay so I need to re-read it one last time before I hand it over to my editor and beta readers, because I already noticed some stuff I broke, but I should be able to do that in a few days as I don't need to re-write very much at all.
Then I can hand it over to my beta-readers and editor while I re-read some other books I need to check and take a break and DRAW COMICS oh my gosh you guys you have no idea how thrilled I am that I can draw comics guilt free now, aaah!!
I'm so happy right now.
So very happy.
Night guys.

Book 2 progress:
First draft:
Word count: 11913
Aim: 50 000
Note that the stars here are just how many odt pages I have written. There's no real way to chart the progress of an unfinished manuscript... not mine anyway.
Thanks for reading,

"Ambrosia. The Drink of the Gods. Thick, syrupy and vanilla flavoured, for some reason. It also contains enough calories to kill a mortal on the spot, so it's just as well that mortals are no longer mortals by the time they finish drinking it. Like Seralina, for example. She hadn't really meant to become a god. She hadn't taken the warning 'This will make of ye a god' seriously. It was her general policy not to trust any claim beyond 'It tastes all right, really'. She certainly didn't trust anything that sounded made-up or used words like 'dynamic'. Going round trusting words like 'dynamic' could get you into trouble. As it turned out, so could ignoring warning labels."

My experiences with harassment + reactions to it
Probably some people will unwatch me for this like that time I complained about boob groping in anime being unacceptable and contributing to the very real problem that it is in Japan but oh well. I won't miss you, off you pop. This week a debate has been sparked about women's safety after the murder of Sarah Everard. No doubt this is not the only murder recently however women have been prompted to share their experiences of harassment to show how just how common it is. Now, yes, I know not all men. And I know we have a lot of work to do on men's rights too. Men should be allowed paternity leave, to be stay at home dads, and men's mental health and abuse against men is not talked about nearly enough. I'm a feminist, okay? That means I believe in equal rights despite your gender. Contrary to popular belief, feminist does not equal 'I hate men'. I've called out people treating men like a piece of meat, saying old fashioned things like 'All those men, and that girl has to carry her own
It's NaNoWriMo again~
For anyone who doesn't know, NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. It happens every year and is a competition where writers all over the world write a novel of 50k words or more starting 1st November and finishing by the 30th! Website: https://nanowrimo.org/ My debut novel Eggs, Butter, Sugar and Disaster was a NaNo novel! I won in 2007. I also played along with Miss Prince in 2011 though I didn't complete the first draft until March 2012, so I failed that time (and I started with a chapter that time too!) Although the novel getting to completed first draft stage is always a win, no matter how long it takes you~ I can't participate for reals in NaNo because I'd be automatically disqualified for a: starting this novel before today and b: being a published author BUT I've had a chapter of Zaran's/Hettie's book done since April and not made any further progress for various reasons. So I decided enough is enough, I'm going to play along and try to complete the
I want my old DA back
So today has been a fun game of 'Did the Facebook algorithms just not show that post to anyone or is it that no-one gives a crap??' Has anyone else ever played this game? Doesn't it suck massively? I know I should not let FB likes affect my self esteem but previously I had DA where I knew I could go and show my hours and years of effort to people I knew would go 'Hey, good job!' but DA decided to make eclipse mandatory and it sucks and everyone hates it and I've lost the safe haven and online home I had been patiently building for 9 years. Only about 3 people see my work on here now. I'm also just very, very low on happy what with all the terrible things happening right now and that I am probably fired at the end of the week (it cannot be helped and I will not starve and it's actually of advantage to me in some ways, but neither is it great) You know what? I kind of hate Facebook. It always makes me feel inadequate, and I avoid it for months at a time. It probably is my lack

Take a break, you have to have your brain intact to finish this. Consistency, you afford later, if enough of your braincells survive. u.u
