It’s different for everyone (Patreon)

Depression is insidious.

It affect people in different ways, sometimes instead of hitting ‘hard’ it sneaks in, and even once you realize it has you in its grip, you can’t always work up the energy to do anything about it.

I’m lucky in that suffer from mild depression, I probably mentioned it before, I describe it as ‘the winter blahs’. It always sneaks in, and because it doesn’t affect the things I ‘have to do’ weeks can go by before I notice it.

Some of you might have noticed there’s been a lack of posts here recently. That’s why. I hit Sunday, look at what I want(not really) to do and what must(do I have to) do and this post gets batted off the table all cat like.

The important stuff hasn’t been affected, my driving and my main writing both went without problem. The pleasure project was a little tougher since I don’t have an outline for it and low motivation, but I finally cracked that particular nut and 2628 is back on track, I expect it to be finished in a month at most.

I’ve also started a new project (yes, yet another one) this one is litRPG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LitRPG it is set in the Lands of Farr, a game that has been mentioned in 2628, and I think 2626, but will be front and center in the next Orr Chronicle story ‘Virtual Friendship’ the working title is Amakron, which is the world within the game where the story takes place (yes, I know, so creative) and will follow the Main Character as he wakes up with no idea who he is and how he got there (ahhh, the ever popular amnesia trope) as he goes about learning about the game and hopefully himself. 

The interesting aspect for me is that one of the thing that is vital for litRPG is the game system, how it works, so I have to build something as I’m writing and have to make sure it works. I’m borrowing left and right from existing games, but keeping thrack of everything is… interesting.

And that’s going to be it, so I’ll see you on the next one.
