Hey ya’ll! Another update as I promised! This one is a bit different than usual. I want to talk about some stuff that does and always will affect my writing as well as give you another look at the other character design I had finished!
Most people deal with writers block and thankfully I have yet to deal with that, I have to deal with the ADHD that has followed me into adulthood. Whenever I start writing it is amazing and feels so right, but it’s the getting started that is hard. I get easily distracted by a million other things. Not to mention just the sole fact that writing a whole book is DAUNTING AS HELL! It shouldn’t even be taking me that long because as I mentioned previously, this project was at one point in time, a comic book. So I have the whole story written out in script form all ready for me, shiny and finished. You’d think it would be a piece of cake. No. My brain can only focus on a million things at once and ever so rarely hype focuses on a single goal. Like right now I am writing this blog post when I literally have the book document open. If you have ADHD or know someone who does, you know just because it is within reach does not mean it is easy. I have only recently, within the last few months, had the revelation that my ADHD did not simply stop when I became an adult but rather followed me like a shadow. I completely forgot. Living my life without medication had been strange but it is what I wanted. And now that I realize so many of my problems stem from my uncontrolled ADHD, I have a start on trying to reel it in. No, I still do not want medication. I have learned to love myself and my brain for all that it is. I want to be able to live hand in hand with it, so I am doing my best to learn more about myself, my habits and how my brain works. If you have ADHD or any other non-neurotypical “disorder” I love you, and you aren’t alone. (P.S. I really don’t like the word disorder, my brain is in fact quite orderly most days to an alarming degree.) Anyway I will skip the rest because I could go on for hours about ADHD and how it works (specifically in women) but I need to get on with it. You’re here for my book!!!
Meet Ramon! This is the second and last character concept my uncle and I were able to put together. This character is the glue that hold’s our spitfire MC together. Her father figure if you will. I wanted him to be a burly Italian-esque man with a large gut but strong features. You think of him and you know you won’t fuck with him. However, if he likes you then he is the sweetest man on the earth.
I know last time I said that the book title was almost done. Well… It’s finally decided! However, I want to have my first chapter finished and a book cover done before I tell you! Please keep waiting in anticipation for the book! I have already chosen a few people close to me to peer review the first chapter and I am looking into having an editor as well. Just because you are a wanna be self-published author doesn’t mean you can’t do it properly! I love you all dearly an thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my posts and staying in anticipation for the drop. July 2023 baby! I hope you have enjoyed, and I hope you have smiled a lot today! xoxo
