And thus the world rotated into the year 2018 and I promptly fell off the planet. While I managed to find my footing around the end of August, I was completely burned out for the rest of the year. I did manage National Novel Writing Month, barely. It was a huge uphill battle to get to 50,000 words last year. Other then that, I did almost zero writing for the year. So, yeah. 2018. Good riddance. Welcome 2019! I’ve got…
It’s about time I got to Septembers Monthy Report. I wrote this three weeks ago now! I’ve literally had no time to deal with anything writing related after I finished the short stories. But here is Septembers Report. September has been my best month so far this year. By a lot. I dedicated to putting the hours in and it shows. It’s unfortunate that time passes so quickly when busy. I need one of those time bubble machines. Where you…
Welcome back! I missed you all last weekend. Last weekend was the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I was preoccupied for the weekend visiting relatives. So, this will be a two week report. Because I can. In the first week, I literally had two time blocks the entire week to get anything done. Seriously, where does all the time go. How can there always be so much stuff that needs to get done at all hours of the waking day? Granted,…
…I can taste it… This week did not go as I had expected. My inability to stay asleep the last nearly two weeks has caught back up with me again. This made for a very long week and a very tiring week. It was hard to focus on work and my current projects at work. Which writing a an editor tool. Which requires a lot of thinking. And my brain was mush all week. It was hard. This also meant…
This week went very well for editing. I got through this week’s goals. A rhythm that appears to be working for me right now is editing on paper for the first half of the week and then moving those edits back to the computer in the second half of the week. The results are that Thunder Gate Arcade, Underwater Cavern, and Volcano Vendor are final. I also retouched Dinas the Destroyer. It’s a lot of fun to be able to…
This week tried hard to make sure I didn’t have any time to write. But look at that, I accomplished it anyway! It’s so pretty. Six stories all finalized. Man. If I had managed to do this much work since April. I’d be so far along. I’d be on another book at this point! Looking at it that way is kind of depressing. But on the other hand, this is the second best week I’ve had this year. Editing at…
Woohoo! This week has been productive! I made the effort! I also had the time. I even managed to get to bed mostly on time and get up reasonably early. I hope I can keep the momentum going. I’m also making good use of Grammarly now. After going through this program, I feel like it’s got at least one set of extra eyes and gives me the second final pass over each story that I’ve been needing to do on…
As expected, August turned out to be crazy busy. I was gone every weekend and the weekdays were stupid. Unfortunately, my goal of getting more writing done did not come to fruition. I did get some editing done, but as it was during travel or other places where I did not have my laptop, that was done on paper. While editing on paper is nice, that means I have to go and get it back into the computer at some…
Yikes. These last two weeks have been crazy! I expected that. Last week, I had one evening that didn’t require me to go anywhere. Wednesday was my birthday. Then there was a convention I went to over the weekend. It was an Anime Revolution 2017. So the weekend was shot. There was also angry calls to my bank. Monday was a holiday and I needed it to recover from the weekend. I didn’t even buy groceries which caused problems for…
So I can make a graph. But not a proper graph, because neither axis is properly labeled. Therefore, you don’t know the units and can’t interpret the graph. Especially since the blue box is representing time and not numbers. Inconvenient!
