I haven't shown a picture of me in a minute. This was from a while ago when I had my hair dyed dark cherry red. The grey shawl I'm wearing, I crocheted myself! It's my favorite wearable piece that I've made so far. Gods I love crocheting, it is SO fun! I really need to crochet myself a pair of fingerless gloves like asap because it's starting to get cold where I am and I have no body temperature regulation and my hands get so cold it hurts. I have some beautiful yarn right not and I think I can do it. I tried to make a pair before but it wasn't very good. Second times the charm right? Lol.
Today has been pretty good and pretty exciting. I'm slowly starting to get back on my game, I woke up at noon BUT I did my morning pages and stretched and exercised and then showered like back to back! Which for those who don't know, I have disabilities that make those actions really really hard. I have POTS and hEDS which suck as a combo. My world is dizzy and my body isn't strong enough to hold itself together. Woohoo! LMAO
I made another delicious pizza for dinner for me and Henry. Tonight, my son asked for pepperoni and mushroom and it was really good. I'm planning on making my first batch of homemade burger buns. I was going to do it today but I think I'll do it tomorrow actually because we are sloppy joe's for dinner and that's what the buns are for. I think I'll make the bagels I wanted to make too. Maybe I'll wake up earlier and have a baking morning, with tea and music. That would be so nice. I'll just do light yoga instead of the full work out routine that I usually do. That way I'll have enough energy to actually do the baking and the inevitable dishes and kitchen cleaning that will come with baking.
Another exciting thing, I HAVE BROKEN 70K WORDS IN N FOR NOT HUMAN!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! This feels so crazy that I am getting so far in the book and I have really dug into N and his character development. It's gone in a new way that I didn't think it would but that's okay that book can go wherever it wants to go. I am but a conduit lmao
The other good news is I think I made an author friend! I met her through the Heart Breathings discord and she is also a horror writer and an artist. And we seem to have a ton in common! We have talked most of today and she is really cool. I really enjoy talking to her and we both have chaotic hobby habits and we are both doing the Rough Draft Challenge for the first time! I'm trying to make sure I'm not being too intense or something but so far it is good. It's nice to talk to someone and make a friend.
I'm going to work more on the website today. Add somethings, update some other things. I wish I could publish it officially but not yet. Phil said soon we will though. That will be wonderful. You know I told my friend about The Things That Haunt Me and she said that people would totally be interested in the story and that she would buy it if it was out. That made me think maybe I should finish working on it. Redo the artwork, the cover, finish the second draft, and reformat it. All of those fun little things. I do have to add a bit because our current house decided to go crazy when we announced that we were going to sell the house and move. Like A LOT of ghost shit keeps happening that I can fill a whole new chapter with.
Speaking about writing, I also wrote and planned the artwork for a children's book today. I know it's ridiculous lmao It's called Tigers Don't Take Naps and it's about Tommy Tiger who doesn't want to take a nap but he gets too tired and gives in to his mother's requests. It's going to be chibi like anthropomorphic tiger cub and mom. The illustrations will be very watercolor and inspired by Beatrix Potter but only loosely. I literally wrote the whole manuscript and descriptions of the art on each page, I confirmed some tiger facts I knew for a facts page at the end of the book. I know exactly what it looks like in my head and all I have to do is storyboard the book and then draw it. And it all started because of a silly randomly generated title from a Sims 4 game lmao.
It is so funny where inspiration can come from. I mean I've also written a few books out of sheer spite lmao. I couldn't think of any cool dinosaur books so I wrote one, I was sick of hearing the toxic tropes that follow dark romance, so I wrote one lmao Well actually I'm writing them, the first is called Surviving The Fall and the second is When Angels Run. Gods I love writing, really the Gods have blessed me with the ability to write and the dopamine it gives me to put words on pages is just *chefs kiss* Alright that's it for me tonight. Now time to edit this website and write a little more before I go to bed.
