Since early in March I’ve been having trouble with a pinched nerve in my neck. Except for the first month I wasn’t in a lot of pain, but the reason I wasn’t in a lot of pain was because I very carefully stayed in the ‘good’ positions that didn’t irritate the nerve, and so I had trouble getting anything done.
So on Sept 5th, I had disk replacement surgery. So far, post-surgery recovery seems to be going well. 🙂
While I was having troubles my aging laptop finally died, so I’ve been trying to transfer all my work processes to my iPad and the family desktop computer. This is apparently going to cost me quite a bit since essentially every app I use needs to be upgraded. ::sigh::
In the meantime, since none of my current projects were accessible to me, I ended up writing 70K+ words on a totally new and possibly useless project… the screenplay for an asian-style drama. There’s no way I can actually have an asian style drama produced, but I’ve been watching asian dramas, and so naturally, being who I am, I have to invent stories that feel like they are for that medium. But maybe it isn’t entirely a waste of time – I can always do a novelization version later, right?

It has umpty-zillion characters. Oh my gosh! If I really do novelize it, I’m wondering if I’m going to end up with six or more pov characters. I’ve never really written anything with more than two povs before.
It was a great relief to me when I finally got the bare-bones of my website working on my home computer, and could start adding everyone to my database.
