In a quiet little nook, there lived a writer...

AuDHD + hEDS hobbit and crocheter, raising kiddo dragons while battling chronic pain and weaving diverse, cozy romantic fantasies 🍂🍄🕯

WIP: Project Dragonshire @ 92K
Pinned
I'm an author who...

Pro: 🇵🇸, indigenous, immigration

Anti: capitalism, consumerism, military/cop

Loves: crochet, autumn, mugs

Hates: hot weather, crowds, social media

Wants: lemon cake, to befriend crows, a forest cabin

Never: wears color, finishes my tbr, drinks enough water

I think I might be sick. Noooooo. Did whatever bug I've picked up have to happen when I'm already behind on my writing deadline??? Sheesh.

I'm half a chapter behind my weekly goal on my wip, but given how rough this week has been, I'm actually really happy with that.

Been going through a rough flare up (thanks hEDS 😑) which means I haven't gotten much writing done.

Honestly, I'm really discouraged.

Being a hEDS writer means typing is a professional hazard. I've got yet another thumb subluxation. 😮‍💨

Sooo... I spoke too soon lol have barely written 200 words today which is WAY under target. Doubt I'll be able to make up the difference though.

Managed to get through a chapter today, so taking the win and hoping tomorrow will be as productive 🤞🏻

(I'm also only 3 chapters away from the last 10!!!)

Crunching the numbers to see how much I need to write or week to finish this first draft before the end of the year and it is - gulp - a lot more than expected. I fell behind in Sept/Oct, and now the catch up feels daunting.

Fellow #writers - is there any November writing tracker/challenges going on? I want to really motivate and push myself this month to get down to the last couple of chapters on this draft. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I am not a Bookworm.

I'm a Bookdragon.

I just got another update on the character art I commissioned, and it is GORGEOUS. It makes me so excited to write having my character brought to life 😊

The reports coming out of Sudan are disturbing and heartbreaking.

All eyes on Sudan.

I think about this advice a lot: start your project now, today, even if it'll take you 10 years to do, because the time is going to pass anyway. Time is going to march on! Might as well have something in progress!

Looks like bluesky is gonna be my primary social media account. I can't manage videos for tiktok and ig is meta spawn.

If anyone has alternative platform suggestions, please share!

I'm starting to wonder if I should just use this account to record the constant stream of thoughts that goes through my very ADHD brain.

Not sure I could type/post quick enough lol

I swear posting on social media feels like I'm just talking to myself 99% of the time 😅
