Intro post #1 here. Okay, so you’re keeping dedicated notes and you’ve kind of figured out that there are three basic flavours of Being Stuck In Bed that have nothing to do with lazy or sick: fatigue, mental health, or neurodivergent symptoms (including for people who aren’t typically neurodivergent). Today we’re going to tackle the […]

“Overheard” this conversation on a Discord server I’m part of (whee, look at me learning new technology and finding communities without social media!*) this evening where the conversational participants were like eh, positive affirmations always sound so stupid to me, and I’m like OH HEY HI I CAN HELP WITH THIS I KNOW WHY. *

Stumbled across this partial repost in my ‘maybe turn into a poem’ folder last week and it was… timely. I’m so keen, champing at the bit even, to start looking ahead, looking outward, reaching for this new future I have before me, and it’s so very hard to be patient, to walk slowly, sustainably, to

However, that involves willpower which involved energy which I’m lacking because of poor sleep, and you see how things are 😀 Also, discovered the hard
I had a question about this from a student this week, and since I went to all the effort of typing out a long response, I thought I’d share it here too in case anyone else finds it useful 🙂 The question is, in essence, Why Am I Having A Creative Block And What Can

I’ve been having trouble restarting writing. I basically haven’t written much since January, when I finished A Fox Of Storms And Starlight, and because of last year I wasn’t in a strong enough writing habit to take essentially two months ‘off’ without it seriously impacting my habits and my critical voice. Critical voice gets stronger

This year has been rough. My health + correlative mental health has been a disaster, work has been busier than it’s ever been before, my husband changed jobs, I was maybe going to change jobs at one point, three of my grandparents died in the last three months, the fourth got really sick ‘suddenly’ (looked
