 Well. It's been a week. Things are moving so fast that even within the seven days since my last post, the world seems to have changed completely. I found out on my way back from my work trip on Thursday that I'd possibly been exposed to someone who had tested positive for covid-19 and given I was mildly symptomatic, I had to put myself into self-isolation and then go get tested. I'm still waiting on the results, though I'm pretty sure it'll be negative since it seems unlikely that I would have a really mild case given how immuno-compromised I am.

It's been hard to entirely isolate from my partner, since we don't really have the space in our house to do so, but I'm sleeping on a mattress on the floor and we haven't had any physical contact since I got back to at least minimise the risk if not eliminate it.

Anyway, stats!

While I've definitely been able to hit my words this week, and it hasn't felt as hard as I was expecting, I haven't really been enjoying what I'm writing. It feels stilted and mechanical and just not great. I know that having free brain time to put into it is a big aspect, so I'm going to try and make time for that more in my daily walks (which I will be instituting to stop me going stir crazy).

I'm now working on chapter 6 of fake marriage!au, which is a chapter I'm struggling a bit with (the whole first page has been highlighted as "future emm please fix this"), plus I'm due to be putting up chapter four soon which...... needs a lot of work. I'm also really worrying that the further into it I guess, the worse it gets.

I got heaps of comments for chapter 1 and 2, but hardly any for chapter three. I don't want that to sound like me whining or being all "give me attention + affirmation" (although, please do) and I understand that as I go through it's normal for this to happen, but I am worried it's because it's just.... not great?

IDK we'll just see how it goes I guess.
