I’m hoping I’m not entering a burn out or something. Fingers crossed it’s just end of year madness trying to complete all the projects. But I’m just not very productive lately.
I think it is partly to blame on all the extra learning I’ve been trying to do and my brain is too full. But then I’ve also had some health issues cropping up that are stressing me out and being stressed kills the creative brain. Either way, let’s hope for a more productive week.
I still need to work on my Birds Aren’t Real blurb. Never got to it last week. And I need to post on Medium and inkspired. Both of those were skipped also. But that’s all plastic balls that can drop every now and then.
I need to write another story for patreon though. I never finished the one from last month, but I don’t have any patrons yet so I didn’t feel the push. But I can’t keep that mentality or else I’ll get to the point where I have patrons and no content. So this week, I’m going to make sure it gets done.
Blog stuff tomorrow. Gotta try for a writing exercise this time. I’m starting to worry I won’t have enough content for the next volume of all signs. Trying not to stress about it though. It’ll get done.
And site arcade still hasn’t updated their plan details so I’m a little irritated and might have to stick with nrdly. Gotta get to work on that soon though. Gotta be ready to launch the new website by January.
Editing barely got done last week. I need to enter in the edits for BAR2 so I can start the next run and get a read through of Witches done. I did finish the first edit of the NF book, but now I need to create all the forms and indexes I mentioned so I can include it in the book. I’m proud of how the second draft turned out though.
I didn’t write much last week. I crammed some last minute words in yesterday and this morning, but didn’t get to 3k. I think it’s the romantic subplot that’s getting to me. I don’t usually write mushy stuff. I think I need to read a few romance books to get the juices flowing. That’s on the list for this week. I’ll try to write the action around the romance and then come back to add it in.
And I’m not going to worry about bonus work unless I find the extra time. I need to get back to the basics and check the boxes this week. The year is coming to a close and I don’t want to miss my mark because I added stuff later. The bonus work can wait til January if it needs to.
That’s it, off the work.
