So, I'm working on a new regimen to replace the four day cycle. I've decided I want something with a little more pressure and immediacy, something where the padding is built into the publishing schedule rather than the production schedule. (Standard grumpy author disclaimer: this is not an invitation to share ideas for how to accomplish this. Not even really good ones.)
I have the basics sketched out. In particular, I have a production schedule that I think will help me keep my focus without being overwhelming, and I have two possible publication schedules in mind, each of which releases chapters at a slightly slower rate than I'm producing them. Only slightly slower because I need some pressure, but slower so that busy days or dead days that affect the production schedule don't affect publication.
I'll have more details as this comes along. I'll have a clearer idea on Monday of next week how this is actually going to work out, based on whether my plans survive contact with the weekend or not.
The State of the Me
Tolerably well.
Plans For Today
I'm going to do some work on the new sci-fi short, and then start a chapter of Tales of MU.
