Late Night Thoughts

There's so many moving parts to track when it comes to publishing a novel. I never realized how complicated it could all be until I was already in the thick of it.

I have a giant list of things I "should" be doing: edits, novel writing, typing up the rest of Vazdimet's magic system... But instead I've been working my way through a bunch of the smaller, less important stub articles for my worldbuilding.

Honestly, between the kids' needs and the cat's ongoing dental saga and the depression I'm just now finding my way out of and the cold that came roaring in to take its place and the smoke from the Canadian forest fires... Well, you get the picture. This is about all I can handle right now, but I need to keep writing. My mental health demands it. 

It's been fun, though, digging into other areas of Vazdimet and coaxing out the secrets hidden in the corners. And it feels good to have them written. It feels really good.

I'll work my way back into the higher priority things once I'm feeling ready to begin tackling them again. In the meantime, I'm just doing all I can to keep moving forward. And that's all that matters, really.
