[Personal] 12/10/2018: Bios, Writing, and Finals!
7 years ago
I've made progress with TPO. Not as much as I wanted, but progress. None of this could've been done without my old friend Adderall! I don't have a prescription again, unfortunately, but I was able to get my hands on some. It should last me the rest of the week with a little extra time on top. Sadly, this isn't ALL for writing, but I do hope to get some writing done while I have the mental acuity to do so. The good news in all of that is that I've applied for medical insurance again.
This year was a wash for some reason, and no one in my family was able to get any coverage. I blame my mom for making me, a non Head-of-Household member, apply the household for insurance. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do that. The year prior was also my mother's fault, but I share the blame as well. I wasn't aware of the re-enrollment period, or the fact that I had had to do such a thing, and literal minutes before enrollment ended, my mom reminded me to do it. By then, the servers were so overloaded that I wasn't able to do anything. Fun stuff. Next year should go better, though, hopefully, and I'll have my much-needed medication! Boy, can't wait until I can move out though, so literally every problem I've had in my life can just go away... Ok, complaining over.
The Refs and Bios folder was made, and character Bios for Cassie, Tandy, and Nuda are up. Next up will be Alvern and Gena. I've written information about them on Tumblr that I don't plan to carry over to these bios, so if you want to spoil yourself on info like an anime fan looking into an anime wiki, go ahead, but I'm keeping their bios free of certain things. Bear in mind this info is on Tumblr of all places, so you have about a week until it's as good as gone.
I have about 8 other characters I've yet to post on FA, and I'll try my best to have them written before I post them. You've probably already seen a small handful of them though, but you have no idea who they are. I want to keep that a secret until they come into play. Is it unnecessary? Oh, absolutely. I don't care, though. I'm following my plan by design.
As for the meatier matters, I have been working on writing over the last few weeks. Current projects are Cassie the Hotel Receptionist Part 2 and a random chapter of TPO. I started writing a bit later in plot than I wanted, but honestly, I can't complain. I don't want to just submit it out of sequence, though. Everything would be all messed up. So what I'm going to do is finish it, then use it as an anchor point as I work on the beginning chapters, and submit things chronologically. As for Cassie the Hotel Receptionist part 1, I was waiting on some art to be colored, but even without the colors, it's good enough to submit, story and all... I don't know if I mentioned this prior, but the bit of writing that was up ages ago is likely part 3 of a 4 part series. Part 3 will remain the way it is for thee most part, and overall it'll be a jarring change of perspective, but I like how it is and I don't feel like changing very much. If anything, once I finish part 2, I'll go back over part 3 so it better fits the overall story. I really am excited for you guys to read it all, though. I've put lots of work into it so far, and I've been weaving this bit of story into the main plot so much that I reckon this can count as a prologue of sorts.
Despite everything, however, because this is finals week, any adderall-aided mental ability will be put towards studying and cleaning up my house for an upcoming event. There's a lot riding on me passing this literature class, but I'm confident that with enough deliberate effort, I can make it through well enough. Once finals are done, I'll be returning to writing, or
This year has been a horrendous mess for me—I'll explain why some other time—but personally, I would like to see this year in retrospect as one of relative success. Wish me luck!
