SATURDAY, JANUARY 7TH
Jan. 7th, 2012 09:20 pmTHE DAILY REPORT
So, it's not actually January 7th as I write this. I started it, and then I got invited to go play a game of Munchkin.
Anyway, the flash story never happened yesterday... I was just so tired, I couldn't think of anything. I felt pretty much the same today, and wasn't sure I'd be able to get the Other Tales done today because I didn't have any seeds I felt capable of developing. It was when I convinced myself it would be okay to just write a little vignette that wasn't a proper story (it would have just been a little discourse on druidry, anchored by Eloise being a bird) that I ended up writing a proper story, and I'm pretty happy with it.
The timer's a real blessing for getting me to focus when I feel like I don't have any focus. Days like today and yesterday would have been total "dead brain days" where I'd be lucky to force out a few hundred words. Yesterday I got 2,000 and today I got 3,000, plus 1,400 words of the next newsletter.
I feel a bit better after having got some decent sleep, but said sleep came during the day, so still not really happening with the whole sleep schedule thing.
STATE OF THE ME
See above, re: sleep stuff. That's the most significant thing right now.
PLANS FOR TODAY
Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
