The doctor and I are still working out the best combo of meds for my condition but things are improving. I'm on four drugs now- more than I'd like but what can you do? It's helping, and that's the important thing. I'm sleeping better and am just more capable of doing what I want than before and I'm seldom properly depressed anymore (yay!). Mostly, it's just good not to be exhausted all of the time.

I've been listening to The Magnus Archives podcast. I don't usually like horror but this was alright, and I really like the frame story of the archivists.I'm into season two where there's much more story about them rather than the monster of the week style 'statements' the archivist reads out.

I've started a writing group online! It's called Wind-Blown Rose, as an oblique reference to my hometown (known as 'the Dirty Windy' and 'City of Roses'). It's a supportive, community-focused group with some book club and workshopping on the side. It's on a Discord server. If anyone is interested in chatting about writing with some nice folks, let me know and I will send you an invite.

We will start the book club bit up in September with Steering the Craft by Ursula LeGuin (the book club is for writer's craft books and is a casual sort of thing; you don't need to participate to be in Wind-Blown Rose).

Much later, I think I'd like to do some publishing with the group, maybe an anthology or a literary magazine, but we'll see how things go.
