Another quick update.

Writering.

I found a fantastic resource and my Monster Dictionary has hit over 6100 individual names for over 4800 individual creatures, and a total word count (so far) of 247000 words (yes, almost quarter of a million) including references. So, I added over 150 new creatures/names and I'm not sure how many more words. Quite a bit. But there has to be more creatures of myth and legend or cryptids out there. And I'm ignoring Creepypasta monsters because they are just works of fiction for the Internet age.

Ah-hem.

My latest long story has also cracked 25k words, I have a definite end-point, though I'm not sure if I'm going to kill off the heroine or not yet. At the moment - yes. I am glad I put the other one aside, because now it's freed my mind up for this one.

So, in my current further reduced circumstances, writing is literally all I have left.

And I am doing it. It's that or an option that is not good for anyone.
