Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 69

• the recent updates page will be updated at some point this week, promise

Apologies for not updating on Friday! I can’t remember now if I mentioned it — but I woke up with a sore throat last weekend, and it just got worse all week. I was worried I’d caught strep (on top of everything else!) Rapid test was negative, but the full test isn’t back until tomorrow. Doctor said it was post-nasal drip, but a really bad case, and like, sure. Whatever. He gave me meds. We’ll see.

Got back to work okay. Was sort of able to get a decent handle on things — caught up with most of my grading, managed to get a little bit of long-term planning done, though I don’t think I’ll go into Marking Period 3 as organized as I came into MP2 which is fine since MP2 got blown up.

I worked on These Small Hours every day this week, but it was a lot of prep work — planning the book, thinking out the threads and subplots, etc. Looking forward to getting into the plot sketch this weekend and writing by next Monday.

While I miss writing every day and offering you guy something several times a week, it was so necessary for me to strip back and just relax my brain. It was better coming home and not trying to think about how to organize energy to write for an hour. I managed 10-20 minutes on writing and pretty much died around 5:30-6 every day.
