Well, it's a new week. Since Friday night, I've been going to bed early and taking pills each night to ensure I get some sleep, and then getting up first thing in the morning. It made for kind of an exhausting weekend, but it means I'm starting the week most of the way towards having my sleep schedule repaired. I've been a bit of a slow starter today due to lingering fatigue and multiple external circumstances, but I'm generally feeling a lot better than I have been recently.
I was a lot more happy with the chapter I finished on Friday than the couple that immediately preceded it. The story works better when I focus on my goals for a given chapter rather than the goal of having a chapter finished.
Today or tomorrow, a new newsletter will be going out. The major theme of it is going to be SHN stuff... a couple months back, on my Patreon feed, I teased a concept for a sort of interwoven set of short stories in that universe built around the idea of new heroes auditioning for a team. It was an interesting idea but I've been having trouble developing it further than that. The frame story wasn't coming together, and the interviews I started didn't seem to have the right tone. Well, I've come up with a new concept that might be a better fit. More on that in the newsletter.
The State of the Me
See the above. The hardest thing I've had to do all day is drag myself out of bed.
Plans For Today
I'm going to be doing things in two blocks here.
Block 1 is going to be working on the aforementioned story idea.
Block 2 is going to be devoted to the newsletter.
