So...

[alexandraerin]

I am exactly two days into my experimental efforts in boosting my dopamine uptake, and part of me is thinking that it's probably too early for there to be actual results and anything I'm noticing is probably the placebo effect, but then I'm thinking: the benefit's "in my head" either way. If I'm feeling good, I'm feeling good. Whether it's the change in my herbal supplement routine that's altered my brain chemistry or the thoughts that I'm thinking in my head that's doing it, it's the same result.

I'm feeling on fire today in a way that I haven't in a long time. I feel engaged with things... with everything, really. I've actually scrapped my plans for where to go with Tales of MU and am going to be doing something a bit more exciting. It kind of dovetails nicely with what I've been wanting to do since I started doing the author commentary on the first book and looking back at what I've lost from my process since then... I've been wanting to pick things up a bit, but the need has been lacking.

This will all make more sense next week.
