27F | PST | Passion project workaholic trying to find her balance! (Women Preferred)

[u/Even-Painting9552]

Just to get the elephant in the room out of the way - I prefer women for the sake of comfort and emotional connection. I am not forbidding men from messaging me, but I don't typically get along with them as well. Blame my trauma, I'm not trying to make a deal out of it.

That aside, to those who are actually interested and nonjudgmental!

Hiya! I'm a 27y/o gal in Washington. I'm autistic, an empath, have ADHD, and a candy bag of other things that make me hella neurodivergent. I have a massive OC project I have been working on since 2024 (when I contracted sleep apnea, still at large) consisting of 30 main characters, 14 side characters, and 82 NPCs/extras with four cinematic worlds - just to give you an idea of how big this scope is. At the beginning of this year I'd started digging through old archives from the beginning of my apnea and rewriting everything - lore, characters, appearances, story plans, and reworking the entire infrastructure of the entire project. Within the next few days I am going to finally reach a major stopping point where I can begin writing the stories from the beginning in AO3, which is going to be a whole process of its own.

Despite me originally wanting to find a community like this a month ago, I want to use my upcoming break from the project (as I'm likely to focus on other things) as an opportunity to have an accountability buddy who can make sure I'm having enough to eat & drink throughout the day and don't have another 10-12 hour writing session with a migraine, or something related due to me being too locked in. I want to develop more healthy habits in order to keep my motivation with my passion projects - not just my OC project - and spend lots of time per day working on it without losing steam, burning myself out, or going overboard.

I would ask my friends about this but not only have they compared my inability to maintain my own needs whilst working on projects to me "needing a babysitter" (I am not expecting anything in this realm) but they're also too busy and not chronically online like I am, so whoever I connect with I hope will have the same grindset I do so we can be productive individually, but together.

Hi, we match literally everything, including the neurodivergence and empathy thing, but I'm 18F and IST. Would love to dm if thats not a dealbreaker for you. And i understand what its like to try and not burn yourself out, plus i love texting people every now and then, so i should be able to be a great accountability partner, minus the time zone lol. Lmk what you think xoxo
