Guess what? I’m still busy with the Ruon Chronicles full outline. Thank goodness for Aeon Timeline and Scrivener! Okay, and I’m using Notion as well to a point for random jottings for ideas. Notion is awesome, by the way (not sponsored mentions).

So, I’ve also had a bird’s eye look at the overall outline and I think my mix of novels and novelettes/novellas will work better than just novels.

Besides working on Ruon Chronicles, I have been trying to not only read more, but also spend more time crafting (basically my way of self care and relaxation). I realise that it’s not yet Easter (and time for the various public holidays in April and May in South Africa) and I need to take better care of myself than I did last year when I basically burned out by September. Oops.

I am thinking, however, that I will make use of the holidays coming up to not only catch up on blogging, but also write a few Medium articles.

But, talking about self care, I share with you Loepsie’s most recent video. I agree with her completely that, a lot of the time, self care can be too focused on making the outside beautiful without really moving beyond that (although a long bath can be healing, obviously) to doing hobbies just for the sake of enjoying them.

Ok, honestly, I look at people who don’t really have a hobby (for example my one cousin) and I just want to say “How do you live?!” because my hobbies is one of the things that brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment. But I digress. Here’s Loepsie’s video — and be sure to check out her website as well!
