Thoughts Early on a Saturday Morning

spryng- I'm sorry. I think I ended up mostly abandoning LJ for my other blog. It's just too quiet here - everybody's ghosting, nobody's writing. But at the same time, LJ still has its place in my heart. I simply can't just dump all my thoughts and woes on my other blog like I can here.
- That doesn't mean I should only come back to dump my thoughts and woes, tho.
- Things are pretty good! My mood has been really stable since ditching chocolate, but that is soon to change. Last weekend, this weekend, and the coming two I am experimenting with increasing amounts of chocolate to see what happens. So far, I had a pretty intense episode of irritability, but nothing lasting.
- I'm also trying (and winning!) to lose weight because over the TTC months I just didn't even bother holding back. Apparently that, coupled with the stress, coupled with a complete lack of metcons, was a recipe for weight gain. I'm trying a low carb, high fat intermittent fasting style diet to shed a lot and quickly, because if I don't see the numbers go down right away, I lose momentum and give up. Granted, initially it's all water weight. But it seems to be working. I'll slowly add in some calories once we hit October, tho. I don't want to risk losing too much muscle.
- I've now had two dreams about being offered representation by a literary agent, and idk why because I haven't even been thinking about it, aside from prodding my GW query letter like, once. But they were very hopeful dreams, although the second one she offered with quite a few caveats - basically all edits that actually made sense and I hadn't even considered. It was bizarre how on point they were.
- I put down the lesbian assassin desert story because it was 90% done and I already knew that I would have to rewrite 80% of it. I'm currently going through my betas' suggestions for corrections for GW and spiffing that up. I aim to have it fixed up and a query letter ready by October. I really want to start querying well before the holiday season and NaNoWriMo, seeing as how those are both traditionally bad times to query.
- It's almost fall! ...almost!!
