Attempts to art and wirte this year have failed. For Q3 I’m making some changes. Designating an area away from the computer for doing art and writing again, and I used my birthday money from my Mom to purchased three packs of less expensive art paper in bulk (watercolor, mixed media, and drawing), and I also picked up some square grid graph paper in bulk for writing on. My dyslexia is out of control right now. Struggling to read and write without grid lines to help my brain see. I should feel less anxiety about starting my projects again since I’m no longer limited to expensive papers. I have some definite texture issues about paper so I was really pick and spent almost 4 months researching papers before picking what I wanted.
I’m still in Autistic and ADHD burn out, even though my health is returning slowly each year, and new issues crop up the burn out is not going away and I have no idea how to help it along. I still have things I want to get done even if it’s at a snails pace, it’s still better than doing nothing and just mindlessly consuming youtube content. So I’ll keep trying.
I’m dropping the audio drama project completely for the for see able future, any project that makes me go nonverbal needs to be a no. I’m dropping the serial book idea, as again it’s stopping me from writing. I’ll still sell the completed books on my site as ebooks and paperbacks, and maybe some fun merch through Printify or Printiful (drop ship merch stores) or something. But I have to acknowledged where my limitations are, and I’ve found a few hard limits this year.
That’s my update for this quarter. Keep on keeping on, as it’s the steps your taking as you walk that make the memories and those are what matter at the end of the journey, no matter where you end up.
