Hello friends! life is finally starting to even out for us over here! Both girls are napping and I’ve been able to catch up on some house chores and video editing, so I wanted to pop in and say hello. I’m still alive and hoping to get this back to it’s weekly updates potentially tomorrow, but probably next week. :slight_smile: Naps are still a little iffy while we teach the 2 month old it’s okay to be alone in your crib in your room during the day haha.

Hello everyone! I’m behind schedule on everything. I was hospitalized again for my stomach for a week :expressionless: And still, I got ‘‘nothing’’, even if I wasn’t able to even drink water, but okay.
So I’m on the hunt for any kind of specialist related to the stomach and digestion, since everything around the stomach is perfectly fine. I can’t take a week off work everytime I have a ‘‘crisis’’. It’s getting out of hands.
But I’m good now, I eat and drink like normal.
I have some catch up to do this week en, but I would be able to start reading next week :slight_smile:

Carla, I’m so sorry to hear about this. Hopefully you can get into a gastroenterologist soon. Stomach issues are rough to deal with. Does your work offer FMLA (medical leave)? I know it’s still hard to take that because most of it is unpaid but at least it can hold your job if approved. Get rest and take care.

I’m right there with you. Finding the right doctor and not just being pushed to the side is so hard. :sleepy: I have a whole new understanding and I’m so sorry you are dealing with that! Wishing you get some answers here soon. Gastroenterologist is what I have to go see for my Ulcerative Colitis. It seems like they are far and few between.

I officially take my last dose of the medication they put me on for my flare and I couldn’t be more excited! The side effects have been astronomical.

Hi Tori! Welcome :slight_smile:

Thanks xx It’s hard on the body but also on everything else. I wasn’t able to do anything, even helping with the kids. I felt so useless.
I took a week vacation, because I have a waiting period of 5 working days unfortunatly. I manage to get a appointment with my physician in a week, so I’m gonna ask a reference form him, or at least more tests to investigate the cause. Finger crossed!

Hey heey! :slight_smile:

Do any of you outline?

After finishing TOM I dove right into editing the first half, then hit a lull at the mid because I was in dire need of a break. Well, I’m finally getting back into writing and completed my first ever outline of a new project (I was previously a free writer who outlined as I wrote–very chaotic). Anywhozers, I didn’t realize how satisfying it would be to outline before drafting. The outline feels like draft 0, and I have a clear direction of where I’m going. Do any of you outline? I focused more on outlining my mc’s arc so that my scenes will still feel like I’m freewriting but the internal conflict will be well thought out.

I think I’ll forever be an outliner now.

That sucks so sorry you are having to go through that and hope you get some answers soon!! <3

Hi Tori! Welcome to the club!

The answer should always be yes for me, cause everything works better when I have structure and a plan. But my chaotic heart just rebels against too much structure, takes the discovery away. I do a skeleton outline as a happy medium on a first draft and then kick myself repeatedly on the second draft when I run into issues haha.

I used to be a pantser too but I feel like outlining really helped me organize my story. What’s the new WIP about?
