I may not be able to make my brain write fiction lately, but I’ve been keeping busy with a whole bunch of other creative adventures in the meantime! We have jewelry! We have Remy’s face on stuff! We have a super secret thing that only the newsletter is hearing about!… Read More »November new stuff round up!

I’m starting to realize one of the problems with posting these reviews once a week and post dating them to the next Friday is that it’s tricky to tell where my brain is in the healing process. It is not far enough, which is important to know for me talking… Read More »Be Scared of Everything review
As I healed from my brain issues (Still going through it, it’s a slow process) I started looking at what I had of my plans and processes that I’d developed so far. For me, I know it’s good to check in now and then to see what worked, what didn’t, and make changes as necessary. Since I hit the point where I returned to work at the and of September, I took some time to look at what I was doing so far and start to think about how it’s been going so far.

I did NaNoWriMo for a decade and wrote over a million words in my time. This is my second year not doing it, partially because of the brain issues and partially because I just don’t need it as much to get things done. So these were some of the lessons I learned.

From July to September, I ended up on about a total of 2 months of leave. It was the longest I had ever not been working or in school, and the most time I had ever spent just with myself. Granted, I was on leave because my brain was completely busted and I was recovering from what amounted to a very bad concussion, but it was still a lot of time that I spent on self reflection and developing a whole lot of skills I didn’t have. And I learned a few things about myself in the process.
