All the Randoms

To be fair, it is pretty cool.

Well, I can’t find that motivation all the time. Some days (rarely, now, since I got medication to treat the chemical imbalance in my brain that gives me depression) I just can’t. I do my best to do smaller things, or break seemingly-impossible tasks into smaller, achievable ones. And even that doesn’t always work.

But I remind myself that Depression Lies, and when I’m having a bad day, I tell the people close to me, like my wife and children, that I’m having a bad day. Leaning on them a little bit helps me get through it.

Another thing I do was inspired by a friend of mine who essentially made a list of things that she liked to do when she wasn’t experiencing anxiety or depression. It goes something like this:

Healthy and rational me likes to be with my firends.

Healthy and rational me doesn’t cancel plans at the last minute because she’s overwhelmed by something.

Healthy and rational me takes good care of herself, eats healthy foods, doesn’t drink excessively, and exercises.

Healthy and rational me doesn’t give up.

Today, I learned that the site http://www.ebooks-tree.com/ is making money by publishing fanfiction without the writers’ authorization. There are a LOT of Olicity fanfiction published there, including mine. I am beyond pissed someone is making profit from my hard work. I suggest if you wrote and published on AO3 and Fanfiction.net check out your username in those sites and see if you have your name there.

This is the post I read that I learned about what was going on.

This is how you ask your work to be removed.

My advice is to go after it because nobody should make profit from something they didn’t spend time doing.
