valkryorFirst off, Imma just gonna put this here:
I technically finished my word count on Sunday, but I finished my actual novel yesterday. It's 52k words, needs a lot of polish, but it's done. If I do edit it (and I think I should), I need to set it aside for a while and read/do other things. I've been putting off quite a bit over the month, focused on getting my daily word counts in while moving the story along.
Enemies-to-lovers, mistaken identity, hero/villain, m/m romance set in 2025 Toronto written. I already have another pairing in mind, this time f/f, still hero/villain, but no idea what the conflict will be. It needs a think, but I also need a break, so this is a good one to put on the back burner and let it simmer for a bit.
So that's the goods.
The very very bads? I slept for shit last night. I went to bed about midnight, which is earlier than usual, then woke up at 3am. Between indigestion, hot flashes, and spikes of anxiety, I tossed and turned until about 5:30. Because indigestion that does not resolve itself can also be a symptom of a heart attack in women, and my hot flashes often make themselves known as radiating warmth that starts in the middle of my chest followed by a spike of anxiety, another heart attack symptom, I was fucking miserable.
I monitored my heart beat, which was the best I could do, made sure I was laying down in such a way to deal with the gas/indigestion, it was still too damn long to be dealing with anxiety and exhaustion.
I'm okay, if a little grumpy and a lot tired. It's also a snow day. No, wait, it's a Weather Impacted Distance Learning day. *barf* At least Declan seems super excited by it and isn't fighting me tooth and nail right now. OMFG, you guys, he just said, and I quote, "I've never been so happy to do school." If only it was this easy in April.
