I decided that I'm going to do Halloween writing prompts this month, sort of like people do for inktober. I already wrote one thing, which I'm now in the process of editing. I'm somewhat tempted to translate it to Swedish, then build back off of it in English, like I was able to do with that ShikiAka prompt. I find when I write in my target languages, I don't go back changing the wording because all I have to do is make it make sense. (and then when I'm done, I can go back and check it all, which is way easier.) I learned recently that fixing sentences in a story while writing it is an ADHD trait... it makes me even more eager for ADHD meds now, because I'd really like to be able to write the stories I see in my mind.

Over the past few days, I've gotten a lot of work done on my characters, which makes me happy. I'm writing away at Haneul's profile and I'm getting more deets on Roark's parents. I hope soon to write about the parallels among her, Grisha, and Ryuichi, and then maybe later or another time I'll finally write about my version of doppelgangers which are in another story of mine. I really like the concept, but I've still not written anything down about it or solidified any of the characters I've got in mind.

So, I'm doing really good with not nibbling when I'm bored. All it took was a little willpower and it's like I kicked the habit! I'm so happy because I thought it would be, like, hard lol

I also notice I'm not in hell as much as I tend to be. I've noticed it beforehand, but I notice I really am making progress with being less anxious and not getting caught in mental traps or drifting.

Since I got my money today, I can finally buy my aunt dingdong-flavored coffee. xD She has a keurig and they had one dingdong coffee left, which I tried and was soooo good. I wanted to get them more, but we got really broke at the end of the month...

I feel in the mood to write something, but I still need to have finish the Yokuasa ShikiAka ficlet which I've wanted to do but just haven't felt like working on. I'm still thinking about how I want to end it: if it'll just end on a promise for next time, or-- actually, maybe I will just let it end like that on Shiki's end. I wanted to Aka's end to provide some background but it doesn't make sense. I have thought about doing a 2nd part where it all happened from Aka's end, so it can be just that.

I recently bought door county's chocolate brownie batter coffee which was really good on the first go, but the third day I'm having it, even though I made it the same as the first day, does not taste nearly as good D: Idk why. It's really strongly caffeinated, where just after two cups or today even the first cup my tmj feels bothered and I got really restless yesterday. I do like the coffee but I don't think I'll buy it again until further in the future. On the last day of the month I want to get more of the Jim's double chocolate because it was helping my mood out tremendously even though it wasn't chocolatey like I'd have liked. (about why it was so good for my mood) Maybe because it's organic...?

So well, last night I waited until the absolute minute to look for hairstyles I want, because today I was supposed to get a haircut. My aunt made an appointment with her lady so she was going to come down and bring me, but because I drank a lot of chocolate milk to fill my stomach (didn't have stuff at home I could eat other than eggs but I already ate eggs I'm so sick of eggs) I kept needing to pee and it wasn't until 2 AM that I went to bed too so... I did find some stuff I liked after 4 hours.

I guess today I'll finish working the ShikiAka fic I was translating (and slightly rewriting) into Swedish, then back again into English. I started writing more from where I originally left off and that's where I'm hitting a block. In the past I was always trying to juggle two povs, but honestly, that's hard. It's a lot easier to do it from just one character's POV, but towards the end of the story, I skipped to Aka's. Maybe I should rewrite it so it's strictly Shiki's, and then maybe I can make a second part where it's Aka's view point. We're going to miss out on why Aka gave her more food, which also tells us that despite her efforts to stay distant, she cares for her well-being. Akabayashi is a master distance-keeper, but I imagine that's also hard. It's hard not for others to become more humanized in your eyes, the more time you spend with them. 

Even though this coffee is so caffeinated, I'm thinking of making another batch... I'm almost done with this cup.
