been a bear of a weekend/monday

I would like to get back to writing, but that terrible thing Real Life has been acting up. My mom's been super sick and still recovering from her burn, I am not 100% well myself although I might be better off than my mom because I got the flu shot, plus the usual list of stresses that seem to be doing their best to keep me in a funk.

To top things off, I've been super dysphoric lately, and so that's not conductive to the kind of mental state I like to try and write stories in, and it isnt helped by the fact I'm seriously stumped when it comes to Branded, MYTH, and "By the Rivers of Babylon".

Fortunately, its not all bad, as Jaci has been her usual silly self, and Arwen, Talia, and the rest of the crew on the chat site have also done their part in trying to keep some smiles (and possibly the occasional giggle, though I refuse to confirm that) coming from my end, and a new Pathfinder Trio story is flowing, although slowly.

Ah, well.
