For a week, our hot water heater was broken, meaning I couldn't shower.

It got fixed, and today I finally was able to, and I feel a lot better now.

Talking helped, showering helped, being with my wife helped, and while the sadness is there, it's muted now. :heart:

Yay! And yes I complete agree on showers

It's a nightmare to navigate the bureaucracy so I don't know if I succeeded and when I can expect results if any, but I might have applied me and my wife for free healthcare we may have been eligible for.
Even if we get it, don't know where we can use it, and any costs, but, yeah. I at least tried.

I caught up on dishes, and made the beginnings of a makeshift pantry for kels (my wife), too!

I took out the trash and cleaned a bit.

I did looking into my car loan and it's theoretically possible to move the payment date to the date I get paid. (Although I couldn't figure out how to do it today and will likely need to speak to someone for help.)

Despite my disabilities knocking me out for half the day and the depression crushing me, I managed to mostly stay on top of house and body upkeep and pursue at least that much.

The most important things remain unfinished, but I still finished a lot. :heart:

I'm up to 85 pages of my novel written!

I know it's not much more, but, it's still a little bit more!

Nice! That also seems like a good pace to me; it averages out to about a page a day which is not bad at all considering life's many obligations.

It only added one page to the total, but I heavily edited my prologue to polish it for my novel!!!

It was the very first material I wrote for my novel and it showed. A lot of the lore wasn't there, a lot of things not being referenced which should be. A lack of foreshadowing which ought to be there. The tone of my later work is totally different. So I did a lot of touching up to that to bring more of my later style into the earlier work. It's a lot cleaner, less awkward, and flows better than before.

Still not perfect, but good enough to present to a publisher I hope!!!

While my red flag detectors continued to go off so I won’t pursue further, I did have a phone interview talking about my novel to a publisher!

It gave me some idea of what I will need to say.
Come better prepared with a description of the novel, target audience, what the setting is like, characters, etc.

I also got renewed determination to keep going on my daily check-ins.

I was...considering giving up on doing them altogether.

Or at least never trying beyond sporadic updates.

But I got a strong reminder of why I began them in the first place, and the motivation to go off of the knowledge that, yes, my words actually were making an impact, they made a difference.

A few days ago, I had a writing breakthrough in how to present key pieces of information in my novel in a way which I think will flow well. Today, I got to writing it, and while it'll need some cleanup later, I like what I have! It's given me more momentum, and we're up to 91 pages now! Not long before we break 100, and then 200, and then...you get the idea! Picking up the pace now with the new traction!

I wrote a new song today ! (And technically, performed it!)

In my notes, I named a couple of monsters in my setting which I had known were existing for a while but just needed to make official.

I created another monster today!

And I expanded some existing character lore. :heart:
