Howdy, squiders, how’s your October going? Mine has so far featured two deaths, the failure of my furnace right before it got cold, and yet somehow is still better than September was.
My family got me a recurve bow and some arrows for my birthday last week, so I’m hoping to finally go back to my archery hobby some time soon. She said, laughing in her head, when she hasn’t gotten an off day in three months.
(In theory I don’t work Mondays and Fridays and should be able to do whatever I want those days. In practice, I don’t get to.)
I finished Chapter 10 this morning and started Chapter 11, meaning Chapter 10 took less than a third of the time to revise that Chapter 9 did. And I sent both chapters off to my critique group, so we’ll see how this goes. These are the first two chapters my critique group is getting that didn’t get run through the Critique Marathon, so we shall all wait and see if the quality has dropped off sharply.
(But seriously, fingers crossed.)
MileHiCon is in a week and a half. I did remember to order new books, but I do need to sit down and actually think about what else I need to do and make a plan for it. Dates attached, all that jazz. Just not sure when that’s going to fit into everything else, hahahaha.
That’s not hysterical laughter, I swear.
Nano is still floating around, not like anything has changed. No ideas. Still not a good time. I think I will go to the kickoff though, just for fun. I’ve done that before without actually doing a real Nano, and it’s like 10 minutes from my house for my region.
I just…I feel like I’m always playing catch up lately, but not actually getting anywhere. Like, I haven’t had time to deal with SkillShare, I just now got my newsletter out (two months late), I don’t have any time or energy for marketing. I am making progress on the revision, which is the most important thing, but so much of being an author these days includes juggling in marketing and business stuff and I’m just…not managing that. At all.
Oh well. Things are what they are, and we keep on keeping on.
See you later in the week, squiders.
