I think I'm hopefully starting to establish healthier writing habits that will allow more consistent work without completely burning myself out now.

I told myself I'd play a game after getting today's writing done, but now I'm too tired to play anything. XD

I will most likely be changing the pricing for my commissions pretty soon. The ones I currently have backlogged will still be of the same pricing, but I think it's getting to be too much work for what it's currently set to and burning me out a bit.

Oh, Dragon Quest II HD gets real mean. XD Time to grind again, that's for sure.

I'm finally working on a commission I've been wanting to work on for a while but couldn't because of my writing slump, and it's so weird. I started it on my phone just for fun and using the notes app to write it, but now that I've transferred to my word processor, it suddenly feels so much harder.

Mine was "Focus."
Honestly, very fitting, given that's one of my biggest struggles.

I always get so upset at myself when my depression kicks into high gear and makes it difficult to do literally anything, but I just have to remember that it's okay to not feel okay. This is just how my brain works, unfortunately, and I just have to live with it instead of beating myself up over it.

I decided to change the field music for the Marchen Garten to the music from the TRC in Reverie, and it feels so natural.

Something that has felt a little different playing the DQ2 remake compared to 1 is the boss fights. I feel like it takes so much to get through regular fights sometimes, but when I fight bosses, they almost feel TOO easy sometimes, so I can never tell if I'm underleveled or overleveled.

I've started writing my next book, and I forgot how meditative it is to just take your time and really immerse yourself in the world rather than worrying about getting a ton written really quickly. This feels so nice.

My partner walked in last night while I was playing Persona 4 Golden, watched me for a while, then said, "Um... Why are they remaking this?" XD
