It's only 5pm. It feels like bedtime. I need to keep my head in the game for another hour or two. It's too early for sleep.

@TheStorySmith Agreed!

@TheStorySmith I'm not loving this season as much as the others. It's definitely a slow burn in terms of plot, and most of it focuses around dynamics I find less interesting than the previous seasons. Hopefully that means it's building to a big finale for the final season.

@VenessaG Sometimes you just have to get it out of your system so you can focus!

What I should be doing? Writing.

What I am doing? Watching "The Crown". 🤷‍♀️

Okay, new plan. I'm going to try to write for an hour and THEN I'll scratch my gaming/reading itch a plenty.

...the kids took my PS5 before I could get there.

Writing is hard. All I want to do is read and play FF12. Which I might do, because maybe once I finish reading my book and beat my game (I'm close to the end of both), I'll be able to concentrate.

I'm already starting to put together my gameplan for 2024. Am I the only one? Does anyone else begin new year goals early?

Setting timers to pomodoro method this book. I don't have the attention span for 25 minutes, though. My timer is 7 minutes long right now. I document my process for accountability. 3k, here we come! One bite at a time!

@Silea 3k used to be easy for me. Now it makes my brain very mushy. However, it's not an undoable number. It's possible, just trying. We'll see if I actually can do this or not.

If I write 3k a day, I will finish #nanowrimo on time. Now I need to find the will power to do this. I have to win. I've been doing this since the beginning and I have a streak to uphold!

Okay #writingcommunity I really want to get into #nanowrimo and win this year. Let's DO THIS.

Well, I've dropped off the face of the planet for a while. Sorry. Work has been sucking up my soul and I just don't have much energy. But I'm going to try.

Getting back into the groove. Slowly, but surely!

@kel I learned this the hard way with all of my pictures that I thought were saved on my laptop. I figured out how to change the settings, but such a pain.

Like pulling teeth. Really loathing the outline. I've been given permission to wiggle it some, but I don't think I can wiggle it enough to save it. Oh well, no my circus or my monkeys.

Made a good dent in my work yesterday. In general, I'm feeling pretty good though my outline is not the best. But I'll make this work. This is client work, so I can't rework what they want me to do.
