It seems like stress city around here
I don't know what it is about this year but there's been a lot happening. Mostly within the family I think. Mum's fall. James playing up a tad and other issues. It makes getting through the day tough some time. It makes doing uni assignments and writing even tougher. Hormone fluctuations are also playing a part along with other physical ailments. The knee is growing dodgy and the back I have to be careful with and the neck, oh lord, I'm lucky it is still holding up my head. On the other hand, I say to myself there are heaps of people worse off than me. Still there are days or even parts of days I feel overwhelmed and a little depressed. The kinds of time when you want to curl up in bed for days and do nothing and talk to no one. However, being me I can't stand this and so I fight.
Yesterday, I saw that I had received an HD for my essay, which was a report on my editing project. Well I can't feel bad about that. It is interesting because I had so many mother issues that day I was to hand it in, I thought I wouldn't get to submit it and that the quality suffered. However, I didn't hand it in late and the quality was okay.
At present, I am putting the final touches on the novel edit I'm doing. (not my novel!) It is really big! Well big for the uni project. I have another one I'm doing, which is smaller. I hope to get on to that one this weekend.
I did manage to get some writing in last weekend, mostly a story outline and the first 1000 words of a short story for a submission. I did that and I'll find out in due course what happens there.Probably nothing, but it was a good experience to step out of my comfort zone.
Last night, I did manage to put up a blog post about Games Day Oz..It has lots of photos. I believe my attendance at Games Day has earning me the monika of Uber Geek, because my attendance there made me late for Conflux 7.

I may do more editor interviews but that depends on certain people sending me their answers. I am going to start thinking about authors who use beta readers. First I have to think up the questions.
