Accountability through posting in public spaces
So I woke up this morning next to three notebooks, all of which are full of story and to-do notes, and one of which contains a signed and dated pact with myself to finish a more or less 80K first draft of Your Crooked Soul by about April 1 ( Read more... ) -
I was even listening to Movits! this morning. Nada.
I don't know what it is this week. I am so tired, all the time. I know I'm not getting enough sleep (just one hour more per night would be awesome, but alas), but even once I wake up, I can't feel rested in the slightest. Mornings are just molasses slow for me: I even woke up with my first alarm this morning, and I still couldn't get out of the ( Read more... ) -
Mi Shebeirach and other wishes for the week
My alarm didn't go off this morning. I was 45 minutes late into work, and I'm feeling a lot of stress that I can't seem to get rid of from a lot of different angles ( Read more... ) -

Don't come back
How many times do I get to say this? I had to leave work early yesterday, because I am on Day 5 of Operation OhgodIfeellikedeathpleasejustletmegetsomesleep. I had thought of taking a taxi, because when you're running on low batteries, taking the CTA is not exactly low-stress, not even on an off-hour when you'd think the train would be emptier than ( Read more... ) -

Time is a dare (especially early in the day)
Sometimes I convince myself that I need something to say when I want to update, and then I remind myself of the many hundreds of times that's been less than true.
Last night I felt myself crashing around 8:30, and was asleep by 10. Which means I woke up at 6, and have been puttering around ever since. I updated my icons, typed up 1400 words of ( Read more... ) -

Oh wow! I wish I'd known about this when it was going on! I mean, not that I have anything stopping me from doing it on my own, but it must have been really fun.
It's something I've been meaning to do with my new neighborhood, actually -- and the light's been beautiful this summer. Must get on that ( Read more... ) -
Wait, can we rethink this "not being the weekend anymore" thing?
Here is a sad truth: I inevitably get all my best ideas when I am in no position to implement them. Like in the shower before I leave for work. Here is a short list of things I did or want to do right this moment:- Write fic about Daniel Elkins, about whom I have had a Theory ever since "In the Beginning."
- Work on my NaNo, since I've realized that ( Read more... )

Oh my, does this make me happy.
Well. Things I need to buy:- Groceries
- Ogilvy on Advertising
- Concert tickets (several times over! so many shows to get to)
- New clothes (again, many times over)
- A haircut
- Digital camera that works (saw this in-store over the weekend and tragically fell head over heels with it and nothing cheaper)
- A new MacBook ( Read more... )
