Today I've woken up with a lot of mental energy, so I think it's going to be a major writing day. I'm just going to backburner other things and write. Mental muscles need exercise the same as physical ones, and I've got to get back into shape... well, that's actually a bit of an understatement. Not because I'm that far out of condition, but because my intention is to get into far better writing shape than I was before.
On the subject of getting into shape, I have to admit I could use a little help from my readers getting my finances back into shape after the move. I feel awkward rattling the cup when I'm still fulfilling perks from the fundraiser and won't be completely done for some weeks, but I also can't wait that long to get my income levels back up to where they were before the move. The big fundraiser covered all expenses related to the move and then some, but my regular income took an understandable hit during the period I was so focused on moving and I've been skating on broke since I got here.
I believe that next week when I start posting bonus stories again, it will help kick things into gear, but in the meantime if anybody would like to contribute a few bucks, it would help me out greatly. Buying stories directly from me also puts money in my hands immediately (upwards of 90% of the sale, even). Buying my stories on Amazon doesn't give an immediate lift, but it gives me money down the road and incidentally helps build exposure (especially if you go back and review them).
I'm not worried about my longterm prospects, and I'm very grateful for the support that's brought me here. Things just a little bit shakier right now than I'd planned for, and I'd like to shore them up so I can focus on the job.
The State of the Me
Good. I've started having vivid and memorable dreams again almost every time I sleep, which I take as a good sign for healthy sleep and a healthy mind.
Plans For Today
As mentioned above, I'm going to be spending today writing... and also, incidentally, trying out different spots in the house. So far I've done almost all of the writing I've done since I got here sitting in a single chair at a single desk. There's no been writing on the floor, no writing in the bath, no writing on the stairs, no writing downstairs.
