Rob’s Update: I Will Draw A Chart
Greetings all
This was another week where everything went a bit wonky, though I sort of anticipated it.
I got home on Sunday from ChattaCon. I expected Monday to be a real down day as I recovered from the drive, but I was moderately productive. I had a great writing day on Tuesday.
And then Wednesday is when the fatigue hit. Ah well.
I got a bunch of writing done on Thursday, and though I never really had a chance yesterday, it wasn’t an awful week. I got almost 5k written on None Call Me Mother, along with a bunch of work on other projects.
Today is also the final day of a hectic two months since Thanksgiving. Between the holidays, I hosted 3 local SCA postrevels, went to 2 cons, wrapped up my portion of When Valor Must Hold, wrote a short story start to finish, and added 27k or so to None Call Me Mother.
27k isn’t enough for two months, really, but it’s not nothing, combined with the rest. I’ll take it.
The good news is that I’m entering my spring writing stretch with only one trip between now and the end of April, and FantaSci will be worth it.
Just keep plugging away.
What I’m Listening To
Red Sector A off A Show of Hands by Rush. Fantastic song with one of my favorite lyrics every. It’s the quote of the week, and it captures the horrors of the Holocaust in such amazing fashion.
Quote of the Week
“Sickness to insanity
Prayer to profanity”
– Rush, Red Sector A
