Mid Month Check In/Update Post
Hello, everyone. As mentioned before here's the mid month check in and update post. How are you doing? Has January been a good month for you so far?
Although this month hasn't been great (auspicious beginning to 2018) I have managed to get some world building work done, which is the first thing done for me in several months. I've also been going through some older stories, working out what needs changing, and also planning some new stories. This, for me, is a really good step. Of course now I actually need to follow through with the actual writing, but I'm hoping to have the time to do that from tomorrow onwards. Something I've always found complicated is working around my long term boyfriend, especially as we live together, and I've been really bad at taking time to do the things I want to be doing - like writing. He's got some stuff that needs doing away from our home for a little while, so I'm going to try to create a nice schedule for myself. I've always worked better than way. All I can do after that is hope that I can stick to it when he's home again.
One of the things I daydream about is having my own office. A space of my own, to have my books, and work stuff, and laptop... only that's not going to happen any time soon. I did have an office for a while, but it was a 40 minute walk away, so I found myself not using it, which made it a waste of the money I was spending on rent. For now I have my corner. It's better than nothing.
Feel free to talk about your month so far in the comments. I'd love to get to know you all better. :)
