So, that is normal for people with ADHD or just normal for people in general?

Ah, I see.
I am still distracted by YouTube and random things I think up of and feel that I need to lookup on the internet.
I am going to eat something then maybe think about doing something else.
Mentally, I AM NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING THERE! I shouldn’t rush things, but I greatly dislike days when I don’t write for my stories even if I am not showing anything to anyone, I still hate it.
I truly enjoy being in the zone. It is just a matter of getting and staying there.

Doing one last read-through for the time being with Part I of Wonderland to make sure it flows well enough, and I’m doing it with text-to-speech to boot. So far so good.

THANK GOD! THANK HOLY FLIPPIN’ GOD, YOU GLORIOUS WOMAN, YOU WERE ABLE TO DO IT!!!
I was able to actually sit down and jot down the names of the characters from The Breakers! I am not going to make a list of their roles in the story (far as what they do exactly), their goals for the story overall, name changes (because some names I am not vibing with like I once was), the magical powers they wield, their ages (biological and physical), and any other little information.
I am not writing that down, because I am going to type it all, but I will try to take breaks…hopefully.
Yes, I am able to do some things if I put my mind to it sometimes.
Yet I forgot that I need to wash the dishes and take out the trash before my mother gets home…
Great, I can’t even be bothered to do that.

Got to sign out of this site for a bit to get started on continuing The Breakers and I have to figure out what to do far as the rewrite.
See you all much later.

Nope, I can’t write at this moment.
Still exhausted and cloudy.
Taking a nap in hopes that something changes.

Sorry for the late reply…yes and no?
I was able to finish a documentation of my mental health that I put to together for myself on what I noticed relating to my ADHD and anything else, but it feels incomplete even though it is 5-6 pages long.
I had a lot to say and I want to get my point across in text since I struggle doing it verbally.
I plan on sharing my writings with my therapist and psychiatrist if they allow me to.
I did this because I wanted to, not because I had to.
I am struggling so I need to explain things in great detail in a way where I am pleased, still there is so much to say about this mental health issue, that explaining too much will become a chore for me mental and physically.
I am rambling and this is getting too long.
Sorry about that.

Oh god, I am even more exhausted than before from doing that document than before!
Seriously, I am just mentally and physically feeling the tiredness.
I have to go somewhere tomorrow, but I can’t bring myself to go to sleep and fighting it isn’t great either.
I want to write or rather finish The Breakers, but the fucking tiredness is a real slap to the face.
I am doing to much but not enough at the same time.
Such is life…

Okay, Part I of Wonderland is as finished as it will ever be. It’s time to (re) draft it into Wattpad with a cover and a blurb, and then I can go back to Saint Love.

Got to try and get a little bit of writing in for today.
Since I was beyond exhausted physically and mentally, I have to try to get a few words in because that would be very pleasing for me.
A question for myself:
Do I continue on with the original The Breakers or should I focus on the new version of The Breakers which is Red Reign: The Breaking of Renna?
I shall do a bit of the original and try to attempt to go to the remake/new version.
See where it takes me type deal.

Before I start writing, I need to ask myself this important question for myself and sanity:
DO I NEED A FUCKING PROLOGUE, REGARDLESS IF I AM SHOWING OR NOT SHOWING THIS STORY?!
Since I switched things around, realistically speaking, I don’t need a prologue and don’t even know what the prologue for the new version will even be about.
Ideally speaking, I would like a prologue because of the original, but at the same time, what the ever-loving hell will even happen in the prologue for Red Reign.
A slight backstory on how Renna and the race of the Rhak’s lost the war with the Firstlings without revealing too much even for my sake?
Or
When the Rhaks return after many, many centuries or millennia after the war to find Renna, but come into contact with some Knights who end up as their slave due to the red mist and also, what causes the Rhaks to reappear again or something?
Geez, what can I do?
Fuck it! I am on a break now so I can be mentally prepared to tackle this beautiful yet vast hell!
I need a timer for when I write, “read”, taking breaks, and anything else.
The problem is I get annoyed by timers and hate feeling tied down by something.
Tis a grand dilemma I face.

maybe instead of an actual timer you can use something around you. Lots of the time I’ll give myself to the end of the video I’m watching, or the end of the playlist i’m listening to, and read or write until then.

Thinking of taking down Magpie Black and starting weekly posts from scratch. I need to edit the first arc anyways and i haven’t convinced any readers to make it past chapter 5 yet.
it feels kind of hypocritical to put effort into gaining a reader base when i believe you should write for yourself and to hell with what the industry says. but at the same time i want my stories to do well. and tbh i think it has more to do with the fact that if i’m going through the effort of making it pretty and posting it for you (plural) then i would like to know if what you think of it. Or at least that you saw it.
but nobody’s going to see it if i don’t put the effort in to gain a reader base. So…

Real Talk/Quick Question:
I am beyond confused.
I have this character named Nirvana (remember her?), who is an incomprehensibly ultra powered goddess, yet she is also a Rhak like Renna.
The issue and gripe that I am facing with this woman is her overall role in the story.
Anna/Annika is an alias for Nirvana and only one of few. Yet Anna is the calmer evil of Nirvana who serves as the Rhak, while Nirvana is the monstrous antagonistic force that Genesis (also Nirvana) will have to face some given day maybe Renna too.
Renna has warriors called The Breakers who serve under her and even fought during the war against the Firstlings. Anna/Annika/Nirvana might just be a false Breaker and not a true Breaker.
In other words, Anna/Annika/Nirvana is just a villainous force or rather the real antagonist of the series.
The way I had it originally was that Nirvana is a Breaker who serves Renna, but given that she is evil and beyond ultra-powered yet insanely psychotic, it makes more sense to have her as a dangerous threat that is just looking to be stopped.
That is why I am confused.
Does that make sense?
@copyedit: I could try that.
Like watch some anime till the end of the episode or watch a YouTube video till the end then start writing or reading?
I multitask a LOT. I could have anime or some YouTube video playing in the background while I write or listen to an audibook while I write.
That is just how terrible my mind works. I have to be doing something or rather more of something.

Both of these things work! sitting and watching just 1 episode of something gives you good parameters. You are on break and when the video is over you’re break is over. Putting something on in the background while you work does the same thing, except you’re just not watching it. When i’m reading or writing I prefer to steer clear of animes/movies/audiobooks. Things with actual plot (or subtitles) that i need to pay attention to. That’s very distracting and I always end up paying more attention to the show than what i’m doing. But I like youtube videos or music.

Prologues generally aren’t encouraged.
