saxbrightwellArm Update: Bullshit Reprieve!
So, after a week and a half of tremendous tension, the orthopedic consult for my arm was an anticlimax in the best way. The orthopedist freed me from not just the sling but the constant xrays, followup appointments, work restrictions, and painful, elaborate physiotherapy! Normal use and a few stretches are all I need!
(It would have been nice to know this before I booked another 8 weeks of all desk work all the time. I haven't laid hands on a patient of my own in months. But I will be excited to get back to direct care after that!)
Social Media Note
So, I am also on Discord under this same username. I haven't posted it as publicly as my other social media accounts, mainly because it's not my main account on the service. I use Discord on mobile 99% of the time, and on mobile Discord has chosen to make it very difficult and annoying to switch accounts, so I just stay on my fandom account on my phone, and log into saxbrightwell on my computer or tablet once every few days to check in with a few writing friends and AuntyTrashy.
That said, I love to chat! You're welcome to seek me out there; just please be patient with friend requests, because as I said I tend to go a few days between logins. I logged in today and there was a friend request from someone, but as soon as I clicked to see who they were it disappeared? If that was you and you're reading this, please do send it again! Or you could just slide into AuntyTrashy's Discord server, where I can be found perpetrating writer-in-residence nonsense like this:
(I've been told I should have added a bow on the horse's tail in the third panel. Perhaps I will at some point!)
Book 5
Drafting book 5 is going well! I made inroads on Chapter 6 today, and realized a parallel is emerging between Maunammi (I'm embarrassed about how long I called them Bhimmaunat) and Fiyevret that I'm going to enjoy chewing on.
It's a good day for my stable of what I've learned are called "spinoff fodder" characters, with only two piping up about the whole-ass standalone books they want written about them after I finish Book 6. There are many more haunting me quite often. I suppose if I ever want things to calm down I need to keep chipping away at the books in front of them, so! Until next time!
