Fri. Jan. 26, 2024: More Rain and a Damp Mood

Friday, January 26, 2024
Last Day of the Full Moon
Uranus Retrograde
Rainy and raw
Uranus finally goes direct tomorrow. Maybe I won’t want to be such a hermit once it does.
Today’s serial episode is from ANGEL HUNT:
Episode 106: Gaston Doesn’t Recognize Zeke
Gaston insists the Zeke in Neville’s group is not the man who attacked them.
Tomorrow’s serial episode is from DEADLY DRAMATICS:
Episode 56: Charlie Has a Different Opinion
Charlie still thinks Jake is a killer, and worries about Nina’s safety.
Yesterday was busy, but pretty much good busy.
I finished the half-done LEGERDEMAIN episode. I think a flashback active scene might have been a better choice; if the mood strikes me this weekend, I’ll revise it and reupload it. It’s for the last week of February, so I should be able to do so, once it clears review. But who the heck knows, with the way they change the parameters all the time? Anyway, I managed to revise, edit, polish, upload, and schedule four episodes, finishing out February. Next week is, once again, a LEGERDEMAIN-centric week, with the intent of writing 10 episodes. If I can do that, and upload 4 of them by next Thursday, and keep going, I will be in decent shape. The first two tie-in novellas are percolating. I might be able to do rough outlines this weekend. I’d like to get them written and out by early summer, latest. Time to start building that world apart from the serial platform.
Got all the paperwork done around the episodes, too. Since I had a late start, after meditation, that was my morning.
I did some other Vella paperwork, too. Plus, I cleaned up some of the links and information on the additional pages and the sidebar on this site.
Then, it was time for script coverage. Turned around the five that needed to be done. Wrote, polished, and submitted the book review.
And that was the day’s work. I was pretty tired by then, and the weather was lousy, so no open studios for me last night.
Still trying to get an appointment for the car repair/inspection. I’m going to be a wreck until that’s all done.
On today’s agenda: REP, some admin, and four script coverages. I’ll see if I can get anything else done, but I’m not counting on it. My brain is tired. With a broken windshield wiper, I don’t want to go out and do errands in this weather. I might do some research – one of the Bibiena books came in, and I also have the lighthouse books. Or maybe I can do some CAST IRON MURDER edits.
Tomorrow, I will take my mom to see CARMEN at the Clark. Sunday, I have a lot to do around the house.
Have a great weekend, and I’ll catch you on the other side!
