@B1ana1sC00l fair 

@Olivia_Benedetti Well I've started writing a new book, which will be my main project for 2026. The first chapter so far is 2.5k words and I want to make it 4k. It offline though so you won't be able to read it for now. 
            
            My recent chapters are up to 1.5k words though for the side projects.
            
            Lots of books I've been working on and I believe you have many you're working on too! What are they?

@Elly313 that’s sucks 

Bit late to the party but I dooo it's a real pain in the ass sometimes. The more severe version is much more well known now as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (though due to changes in medicine, my condition was classified as JHS, Joint hyper mobility Syndrome, though if I went to be reassessed because im on the worse side of that spectrum I possibly would end up having EDS but being on the better side of that spectrum- if that makes sense lol). Its a mobility condition, where my body cant hold itself together. My healing can be quite slow in comparison to a normal person, and I am constantly hurting myself in one way or another. Its caused by the gene that creates the collagen in my body being defective, so the defective collagen doesnt 'collagen' enough (isnt as strong as it should be basically), so i reap the consequences lol. It can also cause digestive issues, I believe eye issues (I have bad eyesight, but the issues are caused because our eyes are made up of mostly collagen), and because our body works overtime to litterally hold us together more than it should need to, exhaustion/fatigue is another common symptom– a common means of explaining it is for whatever a regular person does physically, to us it feels like we have done it 2/3/4 times as much.
            
            My average is one Hospital Visit a year. Usually one broken foot, ankle, dislocated knee, subluxed hip, or something similar.
            
            In short, I fall apart at the seams, and as an added bonus I have anxiety attacks sometimes because of it. Getting on with it though! cant say i dont enjoy having a good excuse to sit down once in a while! 

@RachWriters I agree my little brother has autism and adhd and while I have a mild intellectual disability 

@Elly313 sounds good 

Apparently I need to check my notifications more cos ive had about a dozen of these & not responded in months to em . 
            
            Currently rereading for like the 6th time 'Im a Costello' by _Crazy_Hooman', she's rewriting it i do believe and its going well so far.

@RachWriters ooh nice 

@Olivia_Benedetti Happy Mother's Day to all!

Thank you!!! u to <3

@Olivia_Benedetti Thank you❤️to you too

@Olivia_Benedetti That's great! I hope to read it later.

@AsianStorysketcher yes it is and yeah I’m writing the third chapter of Home Isn’t Blood 

@Olivia_Benedetti Ooo I love questions! I'm doing fine, but constantly exhausted. I entered a contest, so I stopped everything on Wattpad to edit my first book, Heartbeat Hell. Editing is so exhausting and hard work! I wish I was a better writer and editor. No Wattys for me. I don't even have an original story, but I could either write one or convert my fan fic to be an original story. Either way, I don't have the time or energy, but maybe I could enter next year with an original work. However, everything I do in 2026 is taking me three times as long to complete.
            
            
            180k words? That's intense. You have an ambitious goal! Good luck on the project, and wow, 7 books. You definitely have a long-term vision.
