Waxing Moon
Neptune, Chiron, Uranus, Jupiter, Mercury Retrograde
Cloudy and cold
We’re already at midweek!
We had a light dusting of snow overnight. Not enough to shovel, but enough to scrape the car. We’re supposed to get more tomorrow. I planned a big grocery shop tomorrow, so that I can start the baking, but I might have to wait a day or two. I will, however, go out today to get bread and cat food.
I wrote and submitted two book reviews and got my next assignments, which I hope to turn around this week, so that I can invoice. I had several conversations with a potential new client, which resulted in a contract for a paid trial piece that I will sign and return today (yes, even though it’s Mercury retrograde – it’s a straightforward contract with one potential annoyance for which I am prepared). I will get started on the piece next week and turn it in before the Solstice. We’ll see where we are from there. If we like each other, there will be a longer trial piece, also paid. If that works out, we will start working together regularly. One step at a time, right?
Updated the newsletter with the link for the scriptwriting class in March. I will share it here after the holidays, so it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle. Did the day’s marketing per the content calendar. I had trouble uploading video to Instagram.
Turned around one medium coverage and four small ones.
Went to gentle yoga. Chatted with my teacher about what she’s looking for once the studio closes in February; I have some potential leads, which I will send her this morning.
Slept reasonably well, even waking up a few times. Forgot to set up the coffee last night, so I had to stumble around to get it started (without coffee!) while I fed the cats. Since they didn’t smell coffee, they didn’t try to roust me out of bed yet (I was only an hour late).
Did my yoga and meditation and morning writing session. So far, I like this routine, although on laundry days, like yesterday, I need to rearrange it. I didn’t do the yoga or meditation sessions and missed them. I felt scattered all day.
This morning, I need to do some admin, sign and return the contract for the trial piece, get some writing in, run some errands, turn around some more scripts, hope more come in, finish the books for review, and go to tarot. Busy day, so I best get going!
In the next few days, I need to work on more decorating, the holiday cards, and the baking. Staying organized is vital, without making myself feel so constrained that I resent it and get nothing done.
Have a good one!
