I'm gonna put a read more tag on here straight away, on account of talking about very normal things that make some men squick out because men are just too fragile.
The problem with being in the early stages of menopause and only menstruating once every 4-6 months is that you forget just how insanely horrible cramps are.
I feel like my insides are trying to tear me apart.
I hate this.
I kinda want to just run a hot bath and stay in it for the next forty-eight hours. But that's not physically possible, so...
I don't know. Maybe the pain pills I took will kick in soon. Or at all. (I was gonna take ibuprofen, but the bottle I had expired a year ago. But I had some Tylenol that promised it was good for cramps and it doesn't expire until next year, so...here's hoping.)
Anyway, started today's post before getting to my main writing because I did some other writing that I can add to the day's tally.
There's a contest on the My Time at Sandrock official Discord right now, for fan stories under 500 words that are both romantic and a little bit spooky. Which is way too short for me to accomplish anything usually. (Though the contest also requires a screenshot from the game, which helps, in that it carries a bit of the weight of the storytelling.)
Anyway, due to having played through Fang's DLC romance quest last night, I actually came up with something. (And omg, is that quest good! 10/10, no notes. And they didn't even censor the kisses! 🥰💞🥰) Can't turn it in yet on account of Discord for some reason is not wanting to function on my computer right now (and also I need to turn on the PS5 and retrieve the screenshot I'll need), but...it's been wrote anyway. (OMG, even for intentional bad grammar that was awful.)
So that story is an extra 428 words for today's tally.
I also added a measly 826 words to the MDZS fic I started on the first, and 1,464 words to the Sandrock fic that had been halted all this time because it's following along with my current playthrough. (I need more words than that to catch up to where I am since I restarted the playthrough, but my cramps just came back so I will need to be turning off the computer and whimpering for a while.)
So that makes a total of 2,715 words written today.
Added to the 4,348 from before, we get...
7,063 as the total written to date.
Which is...about as much as I used to write on day one, but oh well. It's still not bad. (And I may end up writing more later today on my phone. You know, after I can take more Tylenol and make my cramps stop again. Or after I can maybe shut them up for a little while with a hot bath. Or both.)
EDIT--No, I am a freaking moron. 4,348 is how many words I wrote yesterday, not my total from yesterday! My total yesterday was 7,048! That makes my total now 9,763! Which is much more respectable. (I guess I do need to do something else to keep a tally of this, because making that kind of mistake already is not a good sign. Although maybe the pain is at fault?)
