Rob’s Update: The Little Gray Cells
Greetings all
Wow, what a major week of procrasti-projecting. I built a new bookcase for my SF/F magazines and spent part of the week not only shifting them around, but also organizing them. I now know just what treasure I have with those. It was so much fun.
Also, that led to organizing everything. So many small projects that I had just never gotten around to.
I now have a video camera on my computer. Well, I’ve had it for a while, but not actually plugged it in. I’ll be doing some FB Live stuff or YouTube things when I figure some things out.
I got a new color laser all-in-one. I’ve needed that functionality for a while. I rearranged the office and my printing setup is much more organized.
I organized my inventory. I now have a standard loadout for small events. I’ve needed this for a while as well.
I also made huge progress on my next short story. I may even finish the first draft tomorrow, giving me all week to polish it.
I had some great news, and a neat vote of confidence given to me.
Oh, and I made major progress on something I’ve been needing to do for a long time. I’ll expand on that next week.
Now I’m sitting with my sweetie enjoying a relaxing night. We’re watching Hercule Poirot and puttering around. She’s knitting a sock and I’ll be playing a game after I send this out.
Have a great week, everyone.
What I’m Listening To
Hercule Poirot, the Triangle at Rhodes episode. I love David Suchet and his +4 Mustache of Smiling.
Quote of the Week
“‘I belong to the world, Madame,’ said Poirot dramatically.”
