What's going on

Tonight's str'p is (further) postponed to tomorrow (Friday, November 20).

I'm back to my normal health and in a good mood, but I have some trouble even starting work on the str'p tonight, for a couple of different reasons. One of them, which - alongside the sickness - has been a contributing factor to the recent update deficiency, is that this storyline is not all that fun for me to make anymore. If I wasn't in the middle of it, I'd probably just break it off and do something else. Don't worry, though, I intend to finish the storyline properly.

Actually, maybe that's the only reason, because the main other reason is lack of concentration. Besides sickness and tiredness, one of the main causes for lacking concentration is not enjoying what I'm doing enough. Especially as an ADHD person, concentration is tightly linked to enjoyment. (The attention deficit part of ADHD isn't just an inability to concentrate on things: We can go into a state called hyperfocus, where we block out the world around us and focus intensely on something we enjoy. Unfortunately, the things we're inclined to hyperfocusing on are often not particularly productive.)

Another part of why I'm choosing to postpone it to tomorrow is the fact that tomorrow is a planning day at my school, so I'll have much of the day to do it.

After this, I hope to get my schedule back on track, but in a little over a week, school is apparently going to get hectic. It's so dumb how we have little homework most of the year - despite the claims in the previous section of the Norwegian educational system that the workload was going to get enormous in progressing school, especially the part of it I'm attending - but then there are these few weeks near the ends of each term with so much to do. So yeah, we'll see how well my schedule fares when that time comes.

Thank you all for your patience.
