friday.
If you are still following, well done. It's been a whole lot of nothing for a long time. Sorry about the abrupt disappearance. Life happened. There have been many small bumps on the road, parental issues, medical issues, paperwork, all sorts of things going on.
For a while there, I felt mostly like giving up.
Now, things are slowly getting a bit better, I think. I got my appointment with the team that will be decide on my disability case, it's on the 17th of November, so in a month and a half, something should settle finally.
To distract myself from that, I've signed up to a NaNoWriMo writing project, though well-aware that one) half the month of November I might be out of commission and two) that I just can't write 50.000 words for the life of me, I've made it a personal project, with a personalized time frame and a personalized word count. From now and until the 30th of November, I will be aiming to write 24.000 words on a Lady of the Camellias fanfiction, about the frame narrator and Armand. I'm pretty excited about it, tbh. And it's going so well! I've been writing for a week now and I already have 5127 words! Plus, I've been writing a couple of Olympia-centered fanfictions on the side, one 3566 words long and the other, that I just finished today, 1706 words. The first has gone out to my betareader and I might send the other one their way, too - or I might let it go up without a beta, if the other one comes back without having been slaughtered completely, lol.
A snippet of the main project can be read here, over at the frame narrator's character journal.
So I hope the muses will allow me to remain distracted until the date of my meeting, because whenever I pause from it, I can feel what a nervous, shaking mess I am.

no subject
I hope to continue the streak. Luckily the weekend gives me a lot of time to work on it more.
