Hey all,

Just wanted to drop in after a few months being off the forum.

I have since been taking 100 mg of Zoloft each morning and 600 mg gabapentin 3 times a days (most days)...and apart from some intermittent hypomanic episodes (always when very stressed, or out of my element...like unstructured days off), I have been doing great....though I have been spending more than I should quite regularly...gotta try to be better with that.

Stupid amazon one-click and smart phones....and being a music freak....bah!

Otherwise I am thinking am I gonna start writing fiction again soon....

Just gotta learn how to sustain a prolonged self-directly effort like a novel would take. -- Any tips?

anyways -- hi all!!

No tips really... other than to say why not jump in and start with a baseline. That way you can see how long you naturally can sit and work, and make adjustments from there. I'd imagine too that you need to minimize or prevent interruptions.

How sweet it is. Drug success story. Tip: Join a writers group. I checked my local library for such and scored Prose & Poetry group led by good hearted dedicated university professor. How lucky is that for a poet?
