OKAY. I have been doing some really good blocks of writing over the past few weeks--like several sessions with ~2000 words. Unfortunately, a lot of it has been skipping around on different fics (I'm trying to be better about unhealthy sleep habits, so I'm not writing in huge, hyperfixated chunks. Or trying not to 😬).

So, if you would like, feel free to poke, request, remind so it stays on my conscious mind! Do not feel obligated, this is only if you feel the urge, it will get done either way!

#I don't think i ever said on here but my ADHD meds that I was on weren't working and i have yet to start new ones #this is probably obvious 😁#but I'm trying to get better about pacing and external systems to help get things done #(cute timers for writing/replying sprints #and website timer limits on my phone and browsera #a comfy place to write in my room #AND hopefully a clickity clackity mechanical keyboard soon to encourage happy stimmy feelings)#the work is slow but I'm getting there and that's what matters!! I'm massively compartmentalizing and taking it slow #because the point of burnout is telling you what's not working so I'm trying to learn from it and work better with myself #so sorry to friends i haven't replied to im a while--I'm getting there!#you are important and your correspondence matters to me and i appreciate your patience as i work shit out #and i wish that the stories I'm SO excited to share with everyone weren't so slow to come out but sometimes you gotta do the slow work firs #(i rewrote that last sentence to make it not an apology because I'm trying to be better about feelings of guilt #and obligation that YOU LOVELY PEOPLE never put on me and only stems from myself #cause mentally beating myself up isn't gonna do shit because it never HAS. we're doing something new! as many times as it takes!#ANYWAY #my stuff
