alexandraerinTHE DAILY REPORT
Okay, we're getting "best-laid plans" territory here... I did not sleep at all last night, I'm talking full-on insomnia, and one of my housemates has informed me she will probably be staying home from work today. So this is like a textbook bad day.
That's not to say I'm throwing in the towel on it, or that I'm reducing my expectations. Instead, I'm removing expectations. I'm definitely going to focus on the next chapter of MU (after the one for tomorrow) rather than the next thing that falls due, precisely because I'll have more time to fix it if distraction or sleep deprivation takes a toll on the text. And also because it'll be the easier story to finish.
STATE OF THE ME
See above.
DREAMS FROM LAST NIGHT
You're joking, right?
PLANS FOR TODAY
Chances are excellent I'm going to crash at some point today, so I'm not planning on any writing beyond that one thing. And while my ~*ambitious plan*~ is to have it finished... I don't actually need it until Wednesday. If things go great I might also write a flash piece.
I have an alternate fall-back plan for if I feel all floaty and too out of it to do important work for my ongoing series but can't sleep, and that's to lean back and Just Write.
I did just post the flash story I wrote yesterday.
