alexandraerinThe Daily Report
I said before that if I don't finish the book 2 ebook before WisCon, it probably won't be done until I'm back in Nebraska again. This morning in a burst of clarity, I thought, "What else do I have to do between now and then that's so important?" There are a couple of short stories that are nearly ready for publication, but that's the kind of light work that it makes sense to hold off for Hagerstown.
In other words, I've decided to focus on getting the next ebook done in the next 6 weeks. That's my goal. I'm pretty sure I'm going to make it.
The Nook version is ready to roll, I'm just waiting for them to approve my account (they have to verify my bank info)... it's a little disconcerting that it's taking so long for that to happen, but possibly they had a huge leap in account creation the day I signed up, since that was actually the launch day for their new publishing program.
The State of the Me
I ran out of 5-HTP a bit ago and just got more of it yesterday. Same dosage I was taking, but in a time release capsule. I don't know if it was the formulation being different or if I'd built up resistance or if I was just exhausted enough from my late night cramps, but it left me feeling floaty and tired all afternoon. I had a burst of energy late at night, but when I did lay back down, I ended up sleeping until noon... which I count as a good thing, since I've been missing sleep this week and I haven't managed to have that kind of long, deep sleep since I got back to Nebraska.
I'll be keeping an eye on what happens when I take my pills the next few days here. 5-HTP does cause drowsiness in some people, but I've never noticed it before. I have noticed it apparently improving my sleep cycle.
Plans For Today
I woke up later than expected, so I'm basically just going to be working on the ebook and polishing and posting today's MU chapter.
