So, this has been a week of ups and downs,
First the downs. With the new semester starting up, new germs are making the rounds and I caught one. Other than feeling a bit congested, I haven't really felt sick-sick, but I have been way more tired than even my usual. So, it's pretty much been a week of laying around not doing much at all and overdoing it whenever I've tried to do anything. Not fun.
For the ups, I found a new Sims forum. Sim Creatives is a small, fan run forum using forum tech that very similar to what the old EA Sims forums used. Right now, it's a nice little community of SimLit writers and other escapees from the dumpster fire that is the new EA forums. I may have found a new place to share my story.
The other up for the week is that I've kicked off posting my next Wyrd Tales story. View from the Mountain is a short story featuring my main characters - Miranda and Mariah - catching up with old friends and seeking out an old man on the mountain. It's mostly setting the stage for some future stories while hopefully filling in a narrative continuity gap.
Which brings me to another other down, which is that writing on my next Wyrd Tale - Strangerville Mystery - is a bit stalled. I'm working my way around a bit of writer's block, not helped by being too tired to really think about it much. I'll get there.
So, ending on an up, I had a chance to talk to my mom's case worker nurse - Sage. Sage reached out to me and we had exchanged a few texts. This week we spoke on the phone. I find Sage is a very charming and dedicated young person. I'm feeling that mom has a good person in her corner in Sage. So, that's great.
Now, I'm going to get some more rest.
Onward
