Adhd, always ‘fun’

On 07/05/2026

Sometimes trying to wrangle adhd-brain into doing something useful, or at least go in the direction you want it to go instead of the one it wants to go is like chasing after an overexcited corgi high on sugar…

On the one hand its good I suppose that I have many irons in the (writing) fire on the other…dangit, I wanted to finish certain pieces and not jump around from project to project like a demented pinball.

Oh well, progress is progress and it matters less what work (or works rather) I’m in the midst off or the pace I manage (and the self imposed standards I fail to meet). And moreso that work is in fact being done…

Advice for us all I suppose.

New book!

Sometimes people can love each other, love family a tad…too much.

But that’s clearly not the case for Kaido and its not like his gorgeous mom has had anything to do with his recent streaks of breakups. Definitely not. And she knows just the thing to take his mind off his troubles~

Keep writing.

At times the world’s most frustrating job and others the best thing since sliced bread and which I wouldn’t trade for mountains of gold.

Yesterday was a good day, wrote something to the tune of almost 5k for a new book but today woke up on the wrong side of bed by the looks of things and even getting 500 words out will be a struggle it seems.

As I said, at times very frustrating but all the same wouldn’t trade it.

Sides, even a few words here and there everyday add up, the important thing to any newbies out there is to keep at it everyday.

Sure, you might only manage, say, 100 to 200 words most days but come a month those sameself 100 words each day will leave you with a 3k chapter, which might seem like nothing but now multiply that by 12 and you get either a novella or a pretty good chunk of a book.

And that’s with a mere 100…

But the important thing is not the number of words, which if you keep at it will grow overtime. The important thing is that you keep at it and don’t compare yourself to me or anyone else, just keep writing.

Now to try and get those couple hundred words out myself…

The importance of a backlog

A spot of advice for any young aspiring writers out there.

Backlogs can be very useful.

Both in the sense of building a robust back catalog which I’m still in the process of doing with this pen but already the benefits are starting to show, for the more books you put out there the more chances there are for someone to stumble upon one or more of them, and to decide one or more of them fit their needs and buy them.

But also, and this is more of a do as I say and not as I do type of situation, in that keeping a ‘word backlog’ of completed but not yet published works can prove useful for times where you feel under the weather, like, say, oh this last couple of days.

Of course this applies more to short works then full on novels but even in those cases it can prove useful at times to have an extra novel or two ready and waiting…
