Good news: As of a couple weeks ago, I have a new CPAP machine, and my blood oxygen isn’t dropping to 80% overnight. I have improved mood, drive, and all that mental-functioning stuff.
My new plan: Take one of my year-old story outline drafts, and use my new drive, and the things I’ve learned in the past year, to hammer out the unsatisfactory parts, until I have an outline worth turning into actual narrative. The outside view says that, given past experience, I’ll manage to write around 90% of a novel before pooping out. My hope is that the CPAP machine will make enough of a difference to get me over that hump.

Where you come in: If you want to comment on the original outline draft, it’s a GDoc that can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XcgNwELHCU-r7GuYUgDNDDIviThd8Y7Bdto_kMIcmlI/edit . I expect to be doing significant revision, especially to the later, societal sections.
Wish me luck—even with a fully-oxygenated brain, I’m going to need it. :)
