Hello again.
What that hairdresser does not know 007, is that you have been looking after your parents and helping them out despite your own mental health difficulties. best wishes and take care Timelord.

Worked more on my creative project today! Itβs still not done but I think think itβs coming together a lot more now. I was having a lot of difficulty describing it (I have a tendency to go into too much detail when I describe sometimes) but now I have a much shorter and effective explanation for what my creative project is for when I send it off. I still have a lot work on it to do tomorrow but hopefully I can send it off then! I am still a bit terrified, it would genuinely be a minor miracle if this all works and I actually get somewhere with my project! No matter what I feel good with what I accomplished, itβs probably the hardest I have ever worked on anything in my entire life and that is genuinely not an exaggeration! I would love for something good to actually happen with the creative project though! Although if it did, I would probably go into complete and total shock!
In other news in my day, my Dadβs new boyfriend is a Whovian! His favorite Doctor is 4!π

Send it out, then move on to the next project. Hopefully, by the time you hear anything back, youβll be firmly under the spell of whatever youβre working on. Also, it doesnβt hurt to have breaks from your work: you are your own boss, after all. Well said πIn the mean time while I am taking a break from my other project today, I submitted another creative project I have been working on somewhere. Itβs funny comparing both my projects I am starting to realize that I seem to have favorite themes and tropes that they both share! I guess itβs just something that happens naturally when you create things π I really hope something good happens with both of theseπ€ Sometimes I feel really self conscious and embarrassed about my ideas that I come up with, thinking, βOh no what if the person I send it to hates it!?β βOr is this too weird?β Or I lament under my breath that I βhate my brainβ, even though I donβt actually hate my brain, itβs just that I get so self conscious about my ideas that I start to blush and hide my face. Is that normal for people when they do something creative?
I do like and believe in my ideas, hopefully I can find others who do as wellπ€ Going to try to finish and send off my project I took a break from, tomorrow. Hopefully it comes across well π€ Absolutely. Particularly when starting out. The thing to remember about the publication process is that the editors/publishers want you to succeed. The quality of the work reflects on their practices as much as your own. Take Big Finish, for example, who have built up a solid reputation of high-quality storytelling. They didn't start with the Doctor Who licence. Not initially. The people behind the company had to work their way up to it just like everyone else (in a historical zigzag). Little by little and bit by bit until they got something which they've been able to keep for nth number of renewals. A lot of people in the industry tend to know (or have known) what it's like to be on the other side. Part of those themes and tropes are your voice. Your authorial texture. Something which brings a distinctive element of... "you-ness" to a project. I find a wide variety of authors marvellous, but they each bring their own ethos to a thing. From their own writing experiences. Part of your experience will be developing your own instincts and learning to trust them. Because if you do, others will too.

What that hairdresser does not know 007, is that you have been looking after your parents and helping them out despite your own mental health difficulties. best wishes and take care Timelord. Her dad passed away recently she done hardly anything for her mom who like my mom grieving & yet tells my mom replace me with a dog. I struggling at the minute, my father & i relationship was estranged we didn't get on, he couldn't accept my mental health issues because deep down i think he knew not getting me the help when i needed it at 13 is why my issues intensified. However we were closer the last few years when post breaking his hip which affected his short term memory & became reliant on me more instead of saying get stuffed dad you didn't help me when i needed it i became the better man & did for him what he couldn't do for me. Told hairdresser in no uncertain terms she will not speak disrespectful to me in my house & if she does she can as i already told her too "pi.s off".

Watched Third Doctor Invasion Of The Dinosaurs, the Dinosaur effects are awful but it's still a fun adventure, although I'd liked bit more backstory on why Mike Yates betrayed U.N.I.T

It's a great tale in its own right and it'll help shed some light on what led Yates down that path.

My brain feels like it has been on fire since last night! π I worked on my creative project until 2 am and then more just this morning! I have probably been more productive on it yesterday and this morning than I have all last week! It weirdly feels like all the passion I have just bubbled up to the surface and kicked out all of my embarrassment and self doubt. I am hoping that this project turns out well because I definitely feel like I am on the right track!π€

Hello again.
To quote an Eighties classic character Hannibal from The A Team, "I love it when a plan comes together!" Pleased to hear you are getting on well with your project. It's always a good feeling when your firing on all cylinders. Keep at it and hope all goes well and you continue to enjoy your work.

I know I am on the right track, but my brain keeps going back and forth between extremes of thinking they are the worst ideas ever and they are the best ideas I have ever had!

I don't know. Sometimes, when I travel home, we still have fights because I am so different from the rest of the family. When I am in a good mood, I am able to just ignore it. But when I am in a bad mood, and as you know, I have not felt very well lately, I am grumpy and touchy and easily offended. And my family knows how to press all the buttons. And some things said just hit some open bare nerves. I know very well that I should be the adult, since I am aware about this. But what to do when I just do not have the strength? Anyways, so we had another row, just because my sister said a silly thing and then my mum chimed in and pressed the same button. Main reason was that I had to leave early yesterday after lunch since the German sci-fi community had an online convention and one of my friends had a talk after lunch. I had already on purpose NOT taken part in the Saturday proceedings, and made time for the family. But I wanted to see my friend. So I said that I needed to go since my sci-fi friend was giving a talk. Cue- "You and your crazy people" Not feeling well, and this was waving a big red flag. I was off. Now I am feeling pretty bad about it. It had been not necessary at all, and I should just had let it slide. It is not as if this situation was ever going to change. And yes, I made my point clear, and maybe I even had the moral high ground, and I was able to leave early... but I felt bad all day yesterday and also when I woke up this morning. Sometimes being different just sucks.

Alright... So, a couple of days ago, I made mention of a potential contract that I'd won after a bit of negotiation. The first of two. On subject matter I have to keep vague, unfortunately. Part and parcel of the process. *clears throat* I got another email this morning. I wanted to say thank you, everyone, for your kind words and wishes. Every bit of goodwill helps. As of today, there have been some very exciting developments on that second opportunity.
