Downright Dutch Golden Age stuff tonight from Stanley Meltzoff.
I feel kind of out of it tonight. Which is weird because I had, by all accounts, a very productive day. Two hours of writing done. A decent amount of Netflix assignments…it would have been a much more satisfying day of ‘Flixing, but all my assignments today were ‘standalones’ which are way more work intensive, unfortunately. They take a lot longer than other assignments, and therefore, an hours’ worth of work seems to crawl by.
I’d been hoping to get 60 of them done in the 10 hours I worked, but I had to settle for 45. Maybe that’s the damper on the day. I got my editing work done on the side, so that was good, too.
And, yeah, TWO hours of writing. That’s the new goal. I was definitely NOT feeling it when I got to the second hour at the end of my day. I was tired, kinda zombified out. But…I think if I stick with it, I’ll just get used to doing a writing hour then. That’s the theory, anyway, that I’m going to test. If it doesn’t work, I’ll do two hours at the beginning of the day, or do my second hour right after lunch, or something to that effect. But, I know I’ve had success in the past writing at night, so I think I can get this to work for me.
Played a bit of the Skyrim after I finished everything, but it hasn’t been the feeling of release and accomplishment lately when I get to sit down and play for an hour or so. I’m honestly not sure why. Maybe it’s because I’m still getting used to this new schedule? I don’t know. But I’m not ending my days feeling so pumped like I was a few weeks ago. Ready to pat myself on the back and call it a day with just some mindless vegging out.
Not going to try to dive too deep into it, I don’t think. It’ll take care of itself, methinks.
Tomorrow, I’ll be officially a third of the way through my short story draft. Thank you lawdy. I’ll be finished with this Icarus draft probably on Thanksgiving or that day after. Man…what a success that will be. Very, very much looking forward to that.
Coops is helping me right now write my blog. He’s taken to coming up on the bed and curcling up right next to me lately while he waits for Liz to finish up in the bathroom. He stretched out a few minutes ago, which put his head right up next to my elbow. He is PASSED OUT right now. Zombie eyes and everything.
I feel you Coops, I feel you.
Finished up the 3rd season of Enterprise today. I haven’t been doing as many screencaps of this show, and I realized today it’s because the screencaps that I tent to grab are when the show is doing something that pisses me off rather than impresses me…and so I havent been posting them. I mean, what’s the point? It’s just being negative if I do.
Anywho…there’s still been some fun stuff here and there. The last two seasons of Enterprise are FAR superior to the first two seasons.
That’s all for tonight. More tomorrow and hopefully feeling in a better, calmer, more positive mood. I have every right to be feeling good; things are all going well right now. Life is good.
