I&#8217;m very open with the fact that I have depression, and August was a terrible month. I lost two very dear friends in August two years ago (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jesselcairns?fref=ts\" rel=\"nofollow\">Jesse L Cairns<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pgholyfield?fref=ts\" rel=\"nofollow\">PG Holyfield<\/a>), my grandmother died last August, and my mother&#8217;s cancer was diagnosed last August as well. Add in that I suffer from seasonal depression anyways, and, well, yeah. Talk about a perfect storm.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also suffering a bit lately from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Impostor_syndrome\" rel=\"nofollow\">imposter syndrome<\/a>, and it seems like every time I opened the computer, it bit me in the face so hard that I usually closed the computer back down, or starting playing World of Warcraft. And it&#8217;s time that came to an end.<\/p>\n<p>So yesterday, I wrote 2388 words on <i>Winter&#8217;s Storms, <\/i>and today I am back in my studio, writing again. I&#8217;ve agreed to a schedule this week with my good buddy Beard, and so Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I will be in the studio in the morning before work, getting words in. My goal is 500, but I&#8217;m hoping for more.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday is my Remicade treatment, so I will be writing all day (except when I meet my nephew for dinner). This will help set the stage, I hope, to keep myself going.<\/p>\n<p>Look for another chapter today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been kind of wallowing lately in my own depression.
