I am not writing at the moment, but I do have a plot and honestly, I love to create another reincarnation-isekai-into-the-distant-future story again!
That is what my novel that I need to work on is.
I love the title though I do have another one, but now it is a matter of choosing which I like.

Between trying to kick this cold and the awful headaches that came with it and going to a funeral this week, I am finally back to writing. The cold knocked me down for a few days. I could barely get out of bed. (I suspect it was COVID but who knows). I am just glad to be writing again.

A struggle, if I am being honest.
Like, due to my mental health and struggling with my low iron levels, I have been struggling a bit. Have been going back and forth constantly with my story Red Reign that it is so exhausting and irksome.
Red Reign is a story that a deep part of me wishes to publish and see in bookstore and everywhere, but it has gone through so many plot ideas and character changes and even title changes that I don’t have the foggiest idea what the original idea was for the story period.
I do have an plot/story, but it is a matter of doing it because with my low iron and ADHD being a pain even with medication, I just can’t get there mentally and physically.
Now, I am writing fiction for strictly hobby-sake and trying to go easier on myself because I am not showing any of my stories to anybody at all.
I am sorry for rambling like that. But things are a struggle, but I am happy that I am making some progress in the end.
That is all I got!

Good to be back and thank you!
I am sorry you are struggling. Low iron and ADHD sounds like a very rough time. I struggle with mental illness too (depression, anxiety, PTSD), and those periods of struggle are exhausting. And I didn’t know how hard it was to balance both mental and physical health until I began having lung issues the last couple years. Take care of yourself, and don’t be too hard on yourself. We are only human at the end of every day.
Stories like that are so frustrating. I have one as well that I wrote and then rewrote so many times I didn’t know what it was about anymore. I had to walk away from it a few years ago but the characters still live in my head rent-free - I’ll return to them eventually. Switching genres and projects has given me time to reflect on that other project with some more clarity. Don’t be afraid to give yourself space for a spell - even if it’s a short spell.
I am always open to rambles 
Lord knows I do enough of it myself! I am also glad you are making progress!

Thank you so very much and I greatly appreciate it.
I’ve decided to push Red Reign far away till I feel I can come back to it or dismiss it entirely.

Inspiration may strike again down the road. I’ve briefly revisited my story a few times but haven’t quite found what I want it to be yet. I do miss the characters though. They were a lot of fun. Chaotic though. I don’t think they knew what their own story was about lol

I am currently working on the handwritten prologue for the Return of the Heretic Queen.
I am tired and hungry now, but I am writing front and back and not double spacing. The prologue will be lengthy, but I am trying to make it a short story teaser, I suppose.
Better take a break before I burnout or something.
What is currently happening in the story is that Renna’s country is under attack by weapons that the gods summoned called Ragamirs to destroy the land and kill the people, because Renna decided to spit in the god’s face and boast about how she is so amazing and insult the divine. So, she and her warriors are fighting against the Ragamirs and people are being slaughtered left and right.
Renna’s fellow warriors are also dying, but that is what I wrote now, things will happen as I continue writing more.
I am happy that I am actually handwriting this! Still, I am tired and hungry and need a break.

All done with the short story teaser which is actually a prologue that I wanted to handwrite.
Ten pages, front and back, and no double spacing. I am done and my god am I tired from writing that much.
I am so proud of myself and I am happy that I was able to handwrite the prologue/short story teaser. Not really a short story, but it was a lot to write by hand and my god I am exhausted from writing that.
I started at 8:56 AM to 7:40 PM, even with some breaks fortunately.
So, I am done with the teaser/prologue for Return of the Heretic Queen.
sighs in relief Whew! Thank goodness I am done with that!

So interesting, I am exploring Isilynor’s character and there are some difference between when she was Renna and now.
Renna is slimmer and far fit than now, while Isilynor is curvy, thick, and a bit pudgier than her past self, yet not in a way that is deemed unhealthy. She is a smidge hefty and she still is considered attractive to many people.
Then again most of the Naivin women are a bit hefty and have many curves. Renna was only fit and slim because she fought on the battlefield and did a lot of exercises that is required for a warrior.
Isilynor is a princess who doesn’t get to see a battlefield and her appearance is hereditary.
I love my big beautiful Isilynor, though she isn’t crazy big! LOL!
It is the first I’ve written a female character that isn’t so skinny or super fit.
I might add a female who isn’t obese or anything bit is chubbier than Isilynor, yet is still badass and beautiful. I can make that character her mother who is the Sovereign or another female relative.

Doing more handwriting than normal.
I just handwritten a short story teaser/prologue, I am handwriting character bios, and I will soon handwrite chapter summaries for the story I am working on.
Even in the midst of the sudden crying, I was still able to journal and also doing some handwriting.
I am glad and proud I did that.
