I don't like the story arc and I don't want to post that. But I do really like a few things I did in the story, and maybe I can find a way to gut those scenes for parts elsewhere, sometime. I'd like to; there's some good, novel, thoughtful stuff in there, and after all, I DID fight to finish it! Gotta be something useful in that!
I got enough questions that I might write a more extensive post about the meditation thing after all...I wouldn't mind sounding like a middle-aged watercolor youtuber so much, lol. For now though, re: writing, I don't think the specific course I took is all that important, but for me, developing a skill with meditation in some form and deliberately practising it is a very strong defense against the constant scatteredness of existing in the world in the year 2021. I had been alternatively "too busy" to write, and then "too tired" during my free time to focus on much of anything, and some mental clutter-clearing and refocusing on my values was deeply needed.
Ohhh I thought someone had posted about this scene but I totally lost track of actually reading it, thanks for linking! I might or might not manage a comment there but "I have an ow, but I don't need any help, but please notice I am suffering, but also I am FINE" <- lol yes exactly, perfect. Also the thing about Shen Wei putting his finger over his nose. They're adorable I love them.
