So apparently doing the things is way easier than doing the updates.
The last two days, I did the following stuff that I've been wanting to do for a while but was in the massive "funk" (aka depressive episode and maybe perimenopause starting??):
- I spent most of a day making new promo ad graphics for my book. I LOVE doing this and spending "too much" time on it.
So it felt really good to be motivated to do this again AND feel like the creativity was flowing.
- I spent some time on social media for my author accounts...something I've been avoidant for several reasons, but then I was getting really sad that my monthly royalties were shrinking because I wasn't talking about my book anywhere. I posted my new graphics and enjoyed seeing the likes and comments and shares. 🤩 (Hopefully that translates to at least a small bump in sales and page reads, but I think part of the point was that I wanted to be *involved* again and I did it!)
- I wrote some yesterday on my L&C fic, and I'm really excited to share this one... but I have no idea how it ends! 😅 I'm having to force it a little at times because I'm doing both POVs in first person, and the situation I've put them in requires a bit of mental gymnastics to get into their proper emotional headspaces. But we're working on it!
- I've been continuing to reread my novel WIP so that I can get back in their headspaces. It's been...at times, it's been a bit of a struggle because my brain says what I'm reading sounds dumb or juvenile or boring. But other times, I'm really loving coming across lines that I just LOVE so much and hit me in the feels. So yeah, a mixed bag, but overall progress on the task is positive.
I think that's it for now... now I should go sprint!
