Writing is hard.

lea_hazelWriting with chronic and mental illness is doubly hard. Maybe more? It's been a while since I was not either of those things.
I'm anxious about the state of my Yuri Jam game, and that means I have to fight twice as hard against procrastination tendencies, because it's easier to put something off than keep worrying about it. But of course, any time I put something off that just makes it more difficult, and adds a weight of guilt about "slacking" and "laziness" to my problems.
Yesterday I tried to relieve some of the stress by setting aside some time to think about NaNoWriMo. Actually, since the beginning of October for the past week or so, I've been paying more attention as NaNo preparations start gearing up. Found my NaNo forums password. Looked up some of my posts from last year. Scanned some worldbuilding notes. Luckily I had the foresight to organize everything carefully in my Evernote notebooks. I even have access to it on my phone.
Still going with a story about the sister of last year's protagonist (and I've changed her name, now she's called Kitsa). So far don't know a lot more about it, except some character concepts who don't yet have names of their own.
