Happy Almost-End of October 🎃

I've been on a writing hiatus for too long now, and not just from my blog but from all writing.

Before I get to that, however, I should explain my lack of absence from my blog. Following my last post back in August, I got on a serious writing kick and was so heavily involved with my Entwined Fates series I barely came up for air. And by barely I mean I don't think I did anything at all from August through September. Even for my dad's birthday which came just a few days after that last post, we were at a winery during which I got a slew of ideas and began writing on my phone. Then October hit.

I wasn't sleeping more than an hour or two at most for almost the entire first half of the month, and then I was sleeping all the time. Finally starting yesterday I had sudden energy. I wasn't just able to do my physical therapy to nearly-full strength, but I was also able to go home and clean for two-and-a-half hours. Which was crazy considering up until then I wasn't even barely able to get up long enough to just feed myself food from a frigging microwave. Then last night I didn't sleep much at all and had to spend most of the afternoon recovering (and by recovering I mean sleeping), but when I woke up (embarrassingly at 1:40ish p.m.) I felt refreshed and recharged. A feeling that's not only rare for me to come by, but also not something I haven't felt since the beginning of the month. Now I'm working on my book again, it's going great, and I'm writing on my blog all from a local Starbucks. Granted I'm keeping close to home just in case, I'm in true walking distance from my house where I'm at (though I'm driving considering I doubt my body would handle up well walking in a true-fatigued state. That's never worked out well for me, and I've tried).

Anyhow, that's been my journey as of late. I'm just hoping one of these days I'll be able to write about something other than my health again, though I think it's an incredibly important part of my life to document so that other writers who have health issues might relate and know they aren't alone. It's a struggle we all share, even if that struggle manifests in different ways.

On that note:
In case I don't write again for awhile, have a happy Halloween/Samhain!
