Happy Beltane!
Lit the candles for Beltane's Eve.
Today, I sent off my final final final edits. Guess I am a real YA fantasy author now...

Today, I sent off my final final final edits. Guess I am a real YA fantasy author now...
So... What entails for November?
1. Edits for Fire Heart.
2. Writing a glossary for Fire Heart to accompany field guide.
3. Yule Mice (if possible).
4. Launching Dragon Physician on Radish.
5. Going away for a break.
Why going away for a break? I am exhausted. This year has been great writing-related, but my emotions are wrecked. International news are not helping. We are going into dark times and the world feels it.
I might also take the away time to think about my future, health-wise. I might have to see my therapist/psychiatrist again. November is also where they pack all my important medical appointments together. So you get the blood tests, the mammogram and the liver scans together in a week! Goddess knows how I am going to cope with the financial aspects of all these tests... But I am crossing my fingers.
So... This is November for me. :)

RIP Jin Yong.
I have grown watching wuxia drama serials based on his books. He is a legend and will still continue to be, having inspired so many writers.

Renewed DW account. Scaled down to paid, not premium.
Likewise, Samhain/Halloween (or Beltane) card draws are on until end of the month. The deck is inspired by/based on Southeast Asian/Peninsular Malaysian fauna.
A couple of things I worked on got published/greenlit. An anthology of international spec poetry will be out on the 4th of December.
And if things will work out, fingers crossed, I will be writing serialised fiction.
I am still feeling the remnants of anxiety, spillover from last week which was not an easy week (it being exam results week for Cub/my eldest). I haven't written anything. Instead I baked bread, drew stuff and made pumpkin soup from scratch. I am considering taking another break, since I also feel the onset of PMS. :/
