Wow... people actually noticed the work I did on the clock!! SWEET!!! Nice to know that little bit of effort, even for something so little, paid off!
Good points from the both of you on the Narrator's voice... goes to show the difference between writing while on painkiller and not... my voice while writing is too different and jarring. I was really worried about that.
Good point on the font Quetzzz, sorry for any trouble that I caused you in that. Definitely will make a note of that for any future work that I do going forward.
But, yeah, the narrator's voice... going to definitely need to work on that and get back to it if I am going to move forward and definitely can't be doing this while on meds.
Not only did it come out in a voice that people had trouble with, but... honestly... I struggled a bit to find the voice... so, I am sure that played a part in it as well.
So, thank you Quetzzz and Solomon Grundy, you both confirmed some important things for me and also have been very good in sharing some things that would've made that brief work better.
I think Solomon got the idea best and giving Carley someone to discuss those concerns she was having would've been better, than it be just conjecture in her head.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write out your thoughts, I really appreciate it.
Me fears about my writing on the drugs is definitely a factor in my storytelling, there is no doubt about it. Only thing I can think of that might make it less jarring is find someone that can take the writing I do and maybe rewrite it in their voice, instead... I need to think how I can overcome this, because it is pretty clear that my days of not being on pain meds is becoming less and less likely.
As for how I am doing, the injection has DEFINITELY helped... it has definitely reduced the pain that I've been having in my leg. The wife also, trying to help reduce it more, bought me a new office chair for my B-Day that, while it has a massage (which I won't use) feature, it also comes with a heating source for the lower back (which I will DEFINITELY be using) to try to keep swelling down in the lower back that puts further pressure on the sciatic nerve... those two things (the shot and chair) should go a long way to helping me.
While the shot has done the job for the right leg, I still have lesser issues with the left (which is NO WAY as bad as it is on the right and the reason I got the shot on the right side) and still having issues with my neck and left shoulder. While I am not getting the pain down the left arm into the elbow as much, there ARE days where it feels like my left collarbone is broken, the pain there gets that bad... hopefully with the new chair (replacing one that is at least 13 years old) that might have me sit a bit more correctly in it while I am working in Daz and on the game.
And, hopefully, with the shot and new chair, I can be a little less reliant on having to kill pain with my meds.
TLDR: I am much better, still on drugs, but less than before, still working to get stuff done for all of you.
