The laptop lives!

Well, the main site overhaul is done. Now, it’s finding time to create content that’s the problem. We had…an incident. At work. I’m not allowed to talk about it (yay, working for corporations!), but it resulted in us being short-staffed. We are struggling. My vacation is on hold and there’s a good chance I’ll be working longer weeks until we get this sorted. I don’t mind the vacation being put on hold, but the longer work weeks mean that I’m having to try and squeeze writing in between work and cooking and sleeping. 

It’s frustrating because I have so many ideas I want to work on, and there’s still the plotting I need to do for the ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ work. Definitely beginning to feel like I’m trying to split myself into too many pieces. 

At any rate, this week, the plan is to start editing “Say ‘No!’ to Zombies.” In April, I’m taking part in Camp Nano, and using the time to plot out a new work, but then I’ll go back to editing. I will not be taking part in NaNoWriMo this coming November. Working in retail and trying to participate is just too much. 

For those of you who watch Picard: **Spoiler Below**

I forgot + Picard

I had to run out the door on Tuesday, so I didn’t get a chance to post anything. Not that there’s much to tell you. I finally got the navigation part of the site done, but I did manage to mess up the blog. Only a little. Not enough to worry about though, so I’m not going to take the time to try and fix it. 

This week, I start work on the content layout. Figuring out what will go where and how I can make it easy to move around the site. I should probably work on content for the site while I’m at it, but unless you all want to hear me ramble about Picard and my love for Patrick Stewart or The Sims, I’m drawing nothing but blanks.

Speaking of: if anyone else here watches Picard, I’m taking bets on who the father of that boy is. I mean, we all know the obvious option, but I don’t trust “obvious” answers.

Part of the “New Year” thing. Kinda, anyway. This is partly in solidarity with @thebibliofeels, but it’s something I need to do, as well. 

It’s so easy to tell oneself that, “oh, I didn’t have the time today to write,” when the simple truth is, “There was a movie I wanted to watch, and then I had lunch with my friends, and then I was watching Youtube videos, and lost track of time…” When you start a writing log, and you look back at what actually got in your way, you start realizing that, well…the only thing that was in your way, was you.

I’m no different, but that’s something I’m working on, and this is step one of that: pinpointing the problem. What are the greatest distractions, and how can I cut back on them.

Feel free to chime in when/if you notice something you’re guilty of as well. We can all learn from each other.
