Hi, I don’t usually do this cause it gives me anxiety, but I was in a good mood and needed to share it. I hope you’re having a good day, Stay hydrate, and try not to stress out.

Hi there, sweet nony. Thank you for checking in on me. You did remind me to drink some water, I hadn’t up until now. I needed the reminder. 

I hope you’re having a good day, as well. And if you ever need to talk, I’ll be here for you; on anon, or off. If you want to keep it private, I won’t answer publicly, or you can shoot me a message.

Can I ask about your writing process? Do you write pen on paper first or do you just type away? And when you write a series how much do you have planned before you begin?

I used to write with pen on paper first. Mainly because I loved having notebooks full of stories to look back on. That, and the sound of pen on paper was music to my ears. Now that I have fibromyalgia, using a pen / pencil is a lot harder than one might think. 

Now, this answer is a bit trickier, but not really. Make sense? lol

There are times that I have nothing more than a writing prompt / quote, and everything just falls into place. On those occasions, one of two [maybe three? IDK] things can happen. I’ll hammer the series out and be done with it….

Exhibit A: The Life That’s Chosen Me
Exhibit B: Executive Decision 
Exhibit C: Where I Belong 
Exhibit D: Mimi & Star’s Marvel Kissing Series – w/ @captain-rogers-beard, & Mimi & Star’s Supernatural Kissing Series – w/ @deansdirtylittlesecretsblog
Exhibit E: Eager Lovers
Exhibit F:

Nailed It

Or I’ll get a good chunk of the series written and then I’ll lose steam.

Exhibit A: Bucky, the Vampire Slayer

Exhibit B: Clean & Sober

Exhibit C:

A Long Time Coming

Usually, I like to have a good grasp on what I’m going to be doing. I’ve burned myself by getting super excited about an idea, put together an edit, and pounded out a chapter or two or three, and then it just sits there. 

Exhibit A: Cat & Mouse

Exhibit B:

I am Groot
Exhibit C: Summertime
Exhibit D: Casualties of War
Exhibit E: Preparing for the Graveyard 

I guess that’s a really long and complicated answer for saying, it varies. 

Thank you for asking!

Ily and please take care of yourself. I know how hard the depression can hit when you hurt too much to get out of bed. I’ve had to live it for more than 18 months now. Hopefully they can figure out a way to help relieve some of your pain like they did with my aunt. Part of her treatment was learning to do things differently to not apply as much stress to her body as she did some activities. I hope you start feeling better soon ❤

I’m so happy that your aunt is finding ways to cope with the pain. I hope to get to that point, as well. Right now, it’s baby steps to see what works – 10mg muscle relaxers at night – and what doesn’t – apparently laundry – LOL! 

I love you, too, sweetie. 

Please don’t ever feel like you need to apologize for taking care of yourself, I’m sure some people will take offence with what you’ve told us but you don’t owe any of us anything and the fact that you and so many other amazing writers take time out of your lives to write for a bunch of people who 9 out of 10 times won’t even leave you a thank you is amazing. You honestly give us so much and if a break is what you need then should 100% take it 😘😘
