So, I've decided I'm not going to be writing the Magisterion XIII half of the OT this weekend as I'd originally planned. This won't cause me to slip from the about-every-other-week schedule I've been achieving on the OTs, and in the long run it will lead to more regularity there.
Trying to keep a schedule for the Other Tales that depends on me writing them on weekends is going to hurt both my personal life and my professional life. My personal life because it means I'll constantly be cutting into my weekend... my time for friends and family and relaxation... to write, and professional life because there will just plain be weekends where there isn't enough stuff I can cut into to muster the time to write.
With my new and evolving approaches to time management and to the act of sitting down and writing during the week, though, this won't be a problem. I mean, I'm going to be done writing the main Tales of MU story for next week in a single day. Consider what an awesome OT story I will be able to give shape to if I give most of a workday over to it, instead of trying to write it in fits and starts over the course of a weekend? The semi self-contained/standalone nature of a lot of the Other Tales has already given rise to some of my best work in the MUniverse. The less often I have to effectively dash one off as an afterthought, the more often that will happen.
I've got some big plans for next week, but the biggest part of it is that they're already basically halfway done and the biggest remaining part of them will be done on Monday.
