Hey Everyone,
2026 is later tonight and my original plans for how the year might start has been sidelined in a lot of ways.
At the end of August I suffered a ntal breakdown due to so dication my psychiatrist had on. My life drastically changed after that and the following month was pretty rough. My psychiatrist and therapist both took off the two dications I was on (Adderall & Wellbutrin). I was suffering blackouts of ti and other issues from the combination and so I went cold turkey in October after a long discussion with my psychiatrist.
The good news is that I stopped suffering from the behavior changes I didn't realize I was experiencing (inability to reason, unable to determine if I should say sothing or not, constant on edge, etc). The bad news was that after two months of monitoring, a few things have beco evident:
1 - I'm struggling with focus and mory problems now. Rembering things both in life and in writing has beco harder. I forget details and unless I have lists for both life and stories, I'm struggling to rember things. I'm working on so solutions with this (New programs like obsidian to help track things) but it's been a bear realizing how much of life is being affected.
This novel's true ho is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
2 - My son with seizures had another one last night. We're stumped and trying to co up with a plan with the neurologist. It's a bit heavy dealing with that.
3 - My mother's dentia and ntal stuff is getting worse. Her mory and other problems continue to grow and taking care of her is harder when combined with the other two things.
My psychiatrist and I are looking at trying to slowly add back my wellbutrin to help with the overwhelming feelings that seem to be crashing down on from all the stuff. We also have another plan in place.
Instead of trying to juggle 6 stories (because that's how my brain operates, chasing things like a dog after balls), I'm going to drop down to the 3 that I need to focus on.
Ultimate Level 1 is my main focus. It's my flagship series. I'll stay on top of it.
Loopbreaker is 2 books done and book 3 has started. I'll focus on it after UL1.
The Awakening of Arin book 1 is finished and book 2 is started. I'll probably plan on a week or two of being on this.
That leaves my Formation story falling to the wayside for a bit (perhaps a few days a month).
My Battle Through the Nine Realms will get a month off before I work on book 4.
I have other stories that are in edits that I haven't even posted but been working on for a while. Those will be slow rolled as I just can't spread myself anymore.
I'd rather be honest with everyone and tell them where I'm at. Thank you for the support. Sorry for the constant problems that seem to be plaguing all my stories lately. I'm going to try and find a way to get back in the groove.
If you're following a story that is being sidelined, I'll continue posting until the chapters I have run out.
