2021, 3/4ths (anna bit)

I didn’t write in September. I did some edits in August. I am very tired. I have made depressingly little progress, on either fic or original work.

219 books at the intersection of “owned” and “to-read” in Goodreads, which is up by 11 from the start of August.

Knitting continues, a bit.

My AO3 notifications are at 254 (down by 5) out of 510 (up by 59) unread emails (49.80%).

Have slowed down on getting a handle on the clutter in the library-slash-guestroom because the new cat is there.

I am very glad we are in the month of Hallowe’en.

FOURTH LINE I LOVE YOU

Ffffff.

I mean, I thought about doing a “yay, 2022!” post, but then a day passed, and then another, and now we’re closing on the ides of January. (Does January have ides? It ought.)

I’ve been doing a lot of home maintenance stuff (not entirely by choice, but no-one was hurt when the LOML put his full weight into elbowing the wall when he fell into it, and now I know how to replace surprisingly large patches of drywall), so that’s a thing. And work is... picking up? Changing? Not sure.

This week is confusing. I really hope it’s just this week that’s confusing and next week is better. There was some icky work stuff but it’s getting better? I hope?

Productivity Sunday

Note: It is already past 2 p.m. on Sunday. This is an inauspicious start. Nonetheless, I am doing the @productivityhour thing.

clean a window screen

expand the current outline

do therapy homework

fill out online quiz

close thirty tabs

delete ten emails

That... feels like all I can commit to right now, but I’m committing. Committed. Heh. Augh.

2020, 2/3rds and a few days

A bit late, but hey. :)

Unchanged since I last tracked: 35 fics on the to-do list.

8 original stories to revise, although I finished another entirely different one and I think it's about ready to be sending out.

210 books at the intersection of “owned” and “to-read” in Goodreads, down by 6 since I last tracked this. I culled some books this last month, and am generally tidying a bit.

The body of my sweater is done, except for the hem. I frogged one of the sleeves and am reknitting it!

My “so-and-so has posted…” notifications from AO3 are piling up again since I last tracked. They are at 167 (up by 17), out of 559 (up by 139!) unread emails (29.87%).

For GYWO: I’m at 71 days of writing, including one day so far this month.

Yaywait.

Yay for the long weekend! In the spirit of @productivityhour, figuring out what I want to do:

suitcase unpacked (hush, I came back and got sick)

couch cleared

book finished

writing!

reading a story for crit

meeting a friend for coffee

all clean laundry put away

back yard. raspberries. what do.

two sweater seams

unstuck in Fallout 76

drafts put away

end-of-month things (post, next month plan)

I feel like I could do more, but I always feel like I could do more. So this time I’m going to aim low and get to enjoy the long weekend if I can.

>eeep<

So, since the last... the last, uhm, incident (Worldcon), which followed the preceding incident (TCAF), the time between the two being interspersed with other mini-incidents (I approached a bookstore with insufficient caution), I have actually managed to quash my book buying pretty well. I think I haven’t bought anything except pre-scheduled comics in a fortnight.

However.

I have, over the last year, backed a few Kickstarters. Possibly several Kickstarters. And pre-ordered books. And generally arrange to have printed things delivered to me upon their emergence into the world.

And this week, I swear everything is showing up at once.

*eyes world*

Okay. Six days left before the end of the year, and way too many things that I want to do in that time.

Today is for a story rewrite and getting stuff out of the house.

Tomorrow is for reorganizing the office.

Friday is for trying to corral my list of fic for next year.

Saturday is for writing a crit and going over online training.

(and that's all I'm going to plan because I want some free time in there, and also because weird stuff comes up sometimes.)
