I survived! Time to gush about writing!

[nonesensed]

Three days working 7-23 (+ a 2 hour commute) are finally, finally over! Never again 😖

Had a wonderful, no-deadlines, no-stress day today where I just got the apartment cleaned up a bit and enjoyed reading back through all my gazillion writing projects 😊 My brain is too mushy for writing right now, but I'm setting up writing plans for my luxurious four day weekend next week 💖

As I promised myself, I'll spend some time gushing joyfully about the things I'm writing, because that's good for the soul.

Firstly, one of my art commissions has been completed! The wonderfully talented arigate drew the initial-antagonist/love interest of my story Mages and Marriage along with a quote from my draft of the book, and it turned out stunning 🤩

Secondly, I've been rereading through all my original WIPs and all my fanfic WIPs since I've read and seen some very inspiring books and videos on writing and want to add "upgrades" to several of my projects 😁 Today, Morning, Evening, Dawn is getting aliens, Of Elves and Dwarrows is losing its prologue and gaining a funeral, and Rån som Råder will be granted the Swedish "dansbanekultur" of my parents' youth~

Hope everyone is having a good weekend (and if you aren't, that things get better for you real soon!) 💙

I adore the art and I'm so happy you like it too! 💖💖💖 It's always super inspiring to see a talented artist's take on one of my characters and/or scenes 💗💗💗💗 I am so hyped to write right now and I finally have the time and energy to do it 🎉🎉🎉🎉

And thank you 💙💙💙 The weekend/vacation has already been super restful and I hope to not have to do another work-stint like that again...well hopefully ever, but to be realistic, I hope I don't have to do another stint like that this year 😅

Oh, wow, no wonder you’re in burnout right now! That does sound like a hellish work schedule!

Yeah, I've had to work a _lot_ of overtime since September last year, which I had to combine with prepping and running a big event for 100+ people with waaaay too little staff (in my very limited free time). Hellish is definitely the word I'd use too 😅 Luckily that isn't the norm for my work place or my personal life, so I'm already bouncing back 😊
