Sorry for the lack of exciting post today, I’ve just had a very busy couple of weeks at the Day Job and spent the majority of my weekend downtime relaxing, watching Dune: Part Two and just catching up with smaller things. I’m hoping things will be back to normal later this week.
Oh hey there! Doing a fly-by today as I have a rare Friday off. I’m spending this time listening to new releases, getting a few household errands done (sorry cats, but I really do need to vacuum), working in a an extended writing session for Theadia, and just relaxing after a very busy work week.
See you next Monday!
Heya! Taking a few blogging days off to finish up the edits for Queen Ophelia’s War (and also take a well-earned rest after a crazy-busy couple of days at the Day Job). Will be back next week!
A few personal things came up recently that I have to take care of, so I might not be able to post much in the next few days. See you soon!
Oh hey I still have this blog, don’t I? Yes I do!
Hi all, just checking in to let you know that I’m still here, still doing a lot of revision work on Queen Ophelia’s War, and it’s coming along quite nicely. I have a long way to go, but I’m going in the right direction and that’s what really matters. And while I haven’t been blogging, I’ve been thinking about what I’ll be doing here and at Walk in Silence in the coming weeks as 2023 winds down.
Right now my plan is to return here in December to start my end-of-year thoughts and reviews. Whether that will be at my regular twice a week schedule or just once a week depends on a few things.
Firstly, it depends on how busy I am at the Day Job — it is holiday season and I am in retail, after all — and one of my new resolutions is to Slow the F*** Down. [More on that in a future post.] I survived last year’s Q4 quite handily and my commute is still eight blocks long, so I should be able to do two a week. I’m purposely not holding myself to it however, because I don’t really need to force myself now, do I? One a week is a comfortable and doable goal.
Secondly, it depends on how busy I am with work on Queen Ophelia’s War. I’m still planning on this one being my next e-book release to get back on my one-book-a-year release schedule. While I don’t have a set deadline for it at this time, I don’t want to be spending forever on it, either. I still have work on Theadia and a few other open projects as well that are waiting in the wings.
That said, I’ll try to aim for December 1st as my return for this blog. See you then! And thanks for stopping by!
Oh hey there! I’m going to be taking a short hiatus from the blogging to get some work done on Queen Ophelia’s War, as I’m falling behind and seriously need to get caught up. Not sure how long this will be, but hopefully not for too long. Maybe a month or so? At least until I’ve gotten myself into a better writing schedule for it.
I’m also limiting my footprint on the birdsite these days so if you want to find me online, I’ll most likely be popping up every now and again on BlueSky instead. [I have a few invite codes if anyone is not yet on there and might be interested!]
See you soon!
Cali has woken up from her nap to let you know that I will be taking it easy this week as I’ll be going on vacation the following week and, well, why not? I’ve been pretty good these last several months and I figure I can take a week or two off every now and again, right?
See you in September!
Taking a blogging day off for the hell of it. See you on Monday!
Yeah, I don’t have anything interesting to report today, basically as I’ve been busy writing or letting myself enjoy my hours and days off! Just having fun with a reminder to myself that I’m allowed to do so. A stable work/life balance is always a good thing!
See you on Friday!
I seem to have finally caught a cold and gotten a fever for the first time since I started the Day Job last March. That’s actually a pretty good run! I’ve had a few days where I was running on fumes (these were usually the midday 11:30 to 8 shifts) but this is the first time in quite a while that I called in sick and taken the day off!
I’m hoping the fever will have broken by the time this posts, however. Either way, I’m taking the rest of the week off from blogging to recuperate. See you next week!
