Insecure Writer's Support Group: Make Life Boring

It may not be 2020 but nothing messes things up like a bout of Covid. Yup, that and an ER visit got piled on top of all the other crap life has put there. IF anyone would like to know what it feels like when you're on the verge of passing out, I can tell you. #youknowyoureawriterwhen

Anyway, so yup, my October went off the rails. I'm definitely used to it happening by now. As a result, I didn't get much writing or knitting done.

But it did happen. A tiny bit when I had some spare energy, which wasn't much because my body was putting most of it into fighting off Covid. I was so hungry the entire time and I slept so much.

(When I could. Current CDC guidelines meant I didn't have to be negative to go back to work, so I didn't get many days off before having bosses ask when I was able to come back and that tends to trigger my people pleasing tendencies. Looking back, I feel like I should have put my foot down and said no. I did not get to rest and recover much. There was also added drama with someone else regarding the paranormal convention I had to back out of because of Covid.)

I would really appreciate it if everyone at IWSG put some boring vibes for me into the universe. I would like to finish off the year bored out of my skull and wishing something interesting would happen. It'd be a nice chance from all that has been happening since the end of August. I haven't even gotten into the family deaths we've had and overall family drama. Enough is enough.

Also, if anyone is thinking Christmas gifts, I now have plenty of knitting that I had hoped to sell at the convention. That would help me cover the cost of the ER bill and missed work.

Today's post was part of the Insecure Writer's Support Group.

Created by the ninja captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh, it's a group for writers struggling with writing insecurity (AKA all of us) to gather and discuss their fears or to celebrate writing victories. If you are a struggling writer or need encouragement and friendship, join us. (Someone might have cookies!)
