Hello out there,

I hope everyone's doing well.

I've been a bit more depressed lately than usual so I've been throwing most of my spare time into a mobile game. I generally only do that when it's really bad like don't want to participate in the real world bad.

Last year I was able to harness the depression and focus it all into writing and I'm having a hard time doing it again.

There were some major differences last year though. I was still getting Electrolysis and making my life move forward. So I set out to fix that and set up a Dr's appointment to get a referral. Despite the pain, I'm really looking forward to it. Mostly I'm looking forward to being able to talk to someone again being stuck in a room with someone for 2 hours allows me to bounce some ideas around about my characters.

Despite the lack of writing, my life has been pretty good. I got a new laptop where I can type and it actually keeps up, I made 3 short films last year which is the most I've done in a year, and my dad and I have bonded a bit by playing Minecraft.

Believe it or not, I have some Rairy Contrary that I wrote before this funk started up. I ended up writing a page the other day but I'm not satisfied with how it came out and may end up deleting the whole thing. There are some good parallels in there though so I may end up keeping it.

Anyways I hope you all have a wonderful day and New Year!

Deleting Your Work

I don't see anything good in deleting what you've written. You could shift it to a file (or directory) of rejects, but you might want to reference it later for something. You yourself gave the reason for not deleting it.

Its still there. Up here.

In general, I don't delete much. I usually only delete something insubstantial like a single scene I didn't like.

I saved and started from scratch with the Adrian Prologue I wrote. The best part about me saving it was that it ended up being a sort of hidden thing that's happening in the background that no one knows about but a select few. I decided to reveal it little bit little as I continue the story.

Electrolysis

Two hours of Electrolysis. Wow, I do an hour and a half and I'm really glad when the time comes up. I use a lanacane cream that I apply about 15 minutes before we start and that helps some, but they only claim it to be effective for one hour, so the last half hour is grit your teeth time.

Hugs

Happiness is being all dressed up and HAVING some place to go.

I actually use a 2% lidocaine cream and wrap whatever part is going to be worked on in plastic. Let it set for an hour and it is pretty numbed up.

It last's for around an hour. Just before the first hour, I put the cream on a secondary part that they will be working on so it has sat for an hour as well.
