You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?
I have written about this before.
New Year. . . New Look. . .
It really had not changed all that much.
I want L shape desk. I want comfy computer chair.
On the walls, I would put my art.
I need a printer as I like to print out and edit with red pen.
I would also want book shelves and file cabinets..
I would want a space for a future podcast.
It’s been a rough year for my writing. I’ve been fighting several health issues: carpal tunnel, migraines, nausea, depression and anxiety. I’ve been healing from my hysterectomy as well.
Most of my writings had been my therapy as the three therapists this year didn’t do much. The third one at least tried.
On November 27th of this year (2023,) I hit the million word mark.
However the milestone kind of feels mute, empty and a pointless victory, as I do have books written but only one book is technically published. (I pushed it too fast because create space gave me a deadline. It really needs a major edit.)
80% of my writing this year was either lists, spiritual, and therapeutic.
If it wasn’t for my amazing and creative boyfriend, then I wouldn’t have written much creative writing at all.
There have been days where I didn’t write, because of the pain in my hands or throbbing in my head. My headaches were so bad and got worst in the fall. They made my left eye get white dots and what I call sludgy eye fig. It made it hard to read, write or just watch TV. My doctors (talked to more than one) say it’s hormonal or seasonal and caused by dust and dry air.
I’m getting carpal tunnel surgery in January, but I’m not sure about the headaches.
Meanwhile I feel like I’m in a mental prison because I cannot get my ideas out.
But I did get my millionth word. The millionth word was ghosts. It’s irony as I am supernatural and horror writer.
My dream is to publish my books and make a living a creative writer/author. I also want my own podcast and work with on my own spiritual path and the occult.
