Look, let’s be honest.Finishing a book and turning it in may not feel awesome. It may feel draining and depressing. And when you’re told you SHOULD be happy, you wonder what the heck is wrong with you.

“ADHD Revisited” is brought to you in large part by by my patrons , who received an early, expanded version of this episode. You can join our Fabulist community with a pledge as low as $3 a month!

I’m reading The Disorganized Mind and trying to think of some new ways to deal with ADHD and how it affects my writing.

In other news, I’ve been thinking about my stream, and how the Monday AMA is not really doing much AMA. I’m going to be raising money for Extra Life, and I need to get some Patreon writing done, so I decided to do it live. Nothing should go wrong, right? Come on by and help me make decisions!

Also I’m getting too much into the habit of not eating lunch when I have a 1230 stream so I’m moving those to 1pm so I can be better nourished.
