Stats from yesterday:
Words: 1440
Blog post: 896
All for the Omegaverse: 544
I didn't spend time working on the project I'd intended to work on, but it did feel good to get some words out of my brain regardless. The blog post was really fun, and basically talking about my desire to pivot to writing more fiction. The post went up on my Patreon, and it felt like a good time to let them know what was on my mind. So far people have been supportive. I mean, I can't imagine they WOULDN'T be, but making this kind of shift can feel like more of a gamble than necessary when it comes to things like fan support. Not that my Patreon is what pays my bills these days - thank you temp job for that - but I would like it to be that for me in the future, so I feel a weird amount of pressure about keeping people there in the loop re: my ongoing projects.
Today before sitting down to write I absolutely spent a good hour cleaning my desk and office from top to bottom. E joined in, as he's on a bit of a cleaning jag today too. So he cleaned his side of the office as well. My desk FINALLY resembles a work space, and not a dump space. My new trick, which really helped my decision paralysis that comes with decluttering, was to put everything that I didn't have a spot for in a box. Now I can dig into that project when I have more decision spoons. But it really helped me cut down on the clutter and actually get to the bottom of things. And by that, I mean that I can see the surface of my desk. It has been far too long since that was possible.
So anyway, it's far beyond the time that I had originally wanted to start writing today, but I'm gonna hop to it. I'm hoping that these last few lectures I'm writing will be somewhat easy, all things considered. I'll try to remember to report back at the end of the working day.
I'm trying not to beat myself up for taking more time than I'd intended on before getting to work for the day, but I also have to remind myself that yesterday was my first day "off" in two weeks. And I still worked on that day! I packaged orders and did some writing! So it makes sense that I'm a little groggy.
Ok, getting to work now
