First I had an eye infection, complete with an ulcerated cornea, which meant absolutely no screen time. Then I went away to GNEW and was busy taking down my pavilion and driving home, so there was no posting. I meant to do it Monday, but I woke up with a migraine and, well. Yeah. So it&#8217;s been a while.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today, I am the only one at Creatives. It&#8217;s a rainy day, and I&#8217;m enjoying the Acoustic Covers playlist on Sp0tify, and reveling in the fact that I don&#8217;t have a migraine. I have a chai latte with almond milk, an iced raspberry green tea, and, for the first time in a LONG time, a workable plot for Advent this year! YAY!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You guys, you have no idea how happy I am to have a plot. Carter&#8217;s Cove is easily my most popular story, but it&#8217;s HARD to write. Plot-wise, anyways. Because see, bodies and violence and save the world are easy to plot. It&#8217;s the fluffy, feel-good but not be total sugar because that&#8217;s boring stuff that is hard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also going back on a mini-reset this week &#8211; doing a Whole10 with my Facebook group. I need to get back on the wagon, and this seems the best way to do it. Also, I&#8217;m adding in a fitness goal, because I want to get my stamina up. Also, I need to get more Pokemon. Because, well, Pokemon won&#8217;t walk themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since I haven&#8217;t been posting, I&#8217;m going to just start my goals over.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I finished\u00a0<em>Hope Never Dies<\/em> and I have to write a review. Mini review: I loved it. I also saw\u00a0<em>Ant Man and the Wasp<\/em> yesterday. Go see it &#8211; it&#8217;s fun.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Morning Pages:<\/span><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em>Going for all 7 days, per normal.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Non-writing goals:<\/strong><\/span> 1 more coif made for Her Highness for Pennsic.
