So what happened? I was posting chapters like crazy in September, then October comes and... crickets.
Well, hospital happened. I live with my grandfather and take care of him. One morning, he woke up and his legs wouldn't hold him up. He went to the doctor, the doctor recommended the ER, and they kept him hostage for the next three weeks. This was not a pleasant stay. I was continuously pissed at the impersonal, inconsistent, lazy care he received. They were supposed to be helping him gain strength, and instead they made him lie on his back almost the entire time. Three weeks of atrophy. Real good medicine, huh?
Anyway, I was busy getting the house ready for him, being told he'd need a walker and all sorts of other adaptational equipment. Between cleaning, laundry, visiting and worrying, I did not have time to write. simple as that.
He is home now, thankfully, and doing remarkably better. But I'm still not in the headspace for writing. Did I forget to mention my psychiatrist put me on this new medication that essentially makes me sleepy all day and unable to stay asleep at night? Fun shit. I feel like I'm constantly floating through a half-dream.
I don't anticipate getting much work done until after the holidays. I'll finish this book someday. It's just a matter of getting back to a point where I can let the story dominate my thoughts instead of real-life worries. I need to fully BE my characters in order to write them.
