Phentermine and topiramate

Still dealing with major health issues from that bad Rx reaction almost two years ago, and I didn't tolerate any of the four recent meds the doctors insisted I try. I was on topiramate for two days, and by the end of the second day, I could only lay quietly and wipe away the drool. Took three weeks to bounce back from that one. The plus side is I recently went back to taking a lot of vitamin D (10-30k IUs) and a stress-B-complex, and my energy levels for work and ability to form coherent sentences have slowly improved; I started back on that regimen about the time of Bard's Tale 1. Even so, there are still days when I can read, but I'm not able to write at all. More rarely are the days when everything in a book or on a computer screen is gibberish; usually, though, I already have a migraine, so at that point, I just have to wait it out.
The explanation that Bard's Tale 3 came out so soon was that I split the story into to two discrete chapters, rather than one longer tale; and BT3 was nearly done when I submitted BT2. I think it worked out better that way.
I'm about 50 pages into chapter 17 as of today. I am tempted to write it in shorter chunks to get it out sooner for everyone. For those who really seem to like this series, it means the tales you get will be shorter. I still don't have a reader or an editor, so that means more errors will get through, but I'm going to continue writing and that means people will have suffer accordingly. I do have a day job and I am trying to be productive while taking care that I don't overdo things - which is sometimes a problem.
If anyone is interested in being an editor or reader, send me a note. I prefer Word Perfect, but also have Word and Office. Google Docs is too frustratingly primitive for my tastes. And I hope that gyrfurune's fortunes improve, and that he gets regular computer access again.
Some people have been writing to tell me I must produce faster or my reputation will suffer. I'm not sure how that works.
I write because the tales are demanding to be told, and sometimes I even wake up at night thinking about how the story needs to go; the muse is persistent, but at least it's not a leenan sidhe. (Hmm. That might explain the health problems.) I do get stuck sometimes; not a block, but a section of story will dissatisfy me, and I will go back and re-write it. Again and again, if necessary, until I am satisfied with it and it gets to where it needs to be. I also re-read more than once for clarity and for errors. I would love to be twice or three times as productive as I am now. Still, I am at a loss as how my reputation will suffer.
Through the kind courtesy of our excellent web hosts, I write free fiction on Literotica. I try to write stories that I myself would enjoy reading. This is sort of an update, and an explanation of my own limitations. If you are truly hankering for more fiction, check out my lists of favorite writers and favorite stories. When I'm here, and I find a story or series that I really like, I check to see what THAT author likes to read. I have found some real gems that way. Slainté

God damn give it a rest. Repeating the same fucking things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!!! STOP!!!!!

Way to much fucking and to little of the story.
Not everyone wants to read about fucking and fucking and fucking and fucking and fucking and fucking and fucking and fucking and fucking and fucking.
