NaNoWriMo: the home front

I’m so excited right now that I can’t sit still – I don’t usually get to start till around 1am on the 1st anyway, because I take care of all the last minute support, cheering and shoving that gets my region into full swing – from the people having cold feet, to those with writer’s cramp, I’m the voice that hopefully talks them into going from it anyway.

I don’t get talked into it myself though – which is why this year, I’m doing my level best to be actually accountable.
And here it is.

First book is my alt-sci fi Dissertation (at least part of it will be), Change.

I’ll get to start in 7 minutes…woot!

P is for Psychosis #realmentalhealth #mondayblogs #nomorestigma

This is one of my harder blog posts to write, because though I talk – a lot – about the impact my mental health has on my day to day life, and has done for a while, I’m pretty sure that this is the bit no one really understands, causes the most…misunderstanding and I hope, because I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, they can’t relate to. If you didn’t know that psychosis was a feature of my mental health diagnosis, or didn’t understand if you’d heard it mentioned before now, please…don’t start changing your opinion of me. That’s the biggest reason those of us with serious mental health issues aren’t as open as society needs. Because we lose people.
