September 14th, 2026 Update

Somehow, this week turned out worse than last week. I hate this downward trend in my writing. My arm is still bothering me, but by itself that wouldn't have caused this week. Instead, I got sick. It's not too horrible. I have a scratchy throat, am coughing a lot, and tired, as well as a few other things. Still, it's caused me to wake up several times way too early and then I was unable to get back to sleep. So sadly, for the first time in a while, I didn't hit my weekly writing goals. Uggh! I did get Moonshadow up to 88,800 words, though I have to edit a chapter which will bring that down a little. I'm still sick, but I'm going to try breaking up my writing a bit. Take a nap, write 500 words, read a chapter in a book, take another nap, etc. Just chip away at it and hope I have the energy to get back into my stretch goals. Wish me luck.
