unstoppable force (my desire to write) meets immovable object (my chronic illness)
#its been almost a year since i last updated my ao3 :(#i did actually write a whole 8 chapter fic last summer but i wrote all of it in a notebook like i used to before The Curse#and i'm now slowly starting to type it into a google doc but i'm progressing at a snails pace#because my handwriting is borderline indecipherable even to myself#and its just a very rough first draft anyway so i need to do a lot of editing as i go along#neither of which would have been an issue pre-chronic illness and in fact kinda aided the whole process imo#but now that i'm on permanent low battery mode? really fucking sucks#atm i'm just trying to get the first chapter finished so i can post it and then i can see about the rest#but even that feels like a marathon#probably doesn't help that ive started another wip - which i'm actually really excited about!#but my motivation to write is much bigger than my energy :/#i wrote like 250 words today and it felt like this huge achievement which is pretty sad compared to my writing pace like a year ago#but i'm trying to remember that i'm not competing against anyone. especially not against my healthy self#i still love writing and i will keep doing it even if it takes me a lot longer now#baby steps still mean i'm getting somewhere#writing#chronic illness#me/cfs#actually chronically ill
