I hit a wall today. Damn. I put my butt in my chair for most of the day, but I got so little done it’s making my head spin right now. But, this too shall pass.
I’m so so so SO CLOSE to this draft, you guys. And I just here at the end of the day spend some time getting some actual work done on it. That wasn’t actually the goal of today – there was a ton of Flix work to do which I didn’t finish…sigh. That means it will fall on tomorrow for me to rally…and rally I shall. Nothing stands in my way tomorrow.
But, I wasn’t completely and utterly a piece of shit today…just most of the time. I did get work done. And, I found some tunes tonight whilst writing that are rather bomb diggety.
Cooper has been attacking Coco lately more than usual…and by that I mean at all. I feel like we’ve gone months at a time with him without a single incident. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been more stressed lately because of this shift in deciding to focus on writing? I don’t know. But, man, today he got ahold of the back of her neck good enough that when I pulled him away in the split second after he’d lunged at her that she came with him. I looked and he didn’t do any actual real damage, but I got upset about it, which of course freaked the fuck out of the dogs.
We’ve always been able to handle Cooper’s aggression in the past, and I’m confident we will this time, too…but it rattled me for sure, especially since my day was already stressing me the fuck out. Sigh…he can be such an insecure dog sometimes, I hate it. And I realize that’s on me, I’m not being consistent about correcting the behavior early enough. He gets spun up, and whenever he does, he needs to be corrected. Every time. Told to calm down. It’s a simple solution, it just takes persistence and vigilance.
Anyway…today was a rough one. Tomorrow will be better. Finish this Netflix work that’s due, and finish this phase of the rewrite – correcting all my scenes that I transcribed. So far, transcription is not necessarily going any faster than if I’d just typed them by hand…too many errors. Do not like.
I just asked my writers’ group who out there could type faster than 3,000 or so words in an hour…to be honest, that on a gut level appeals to me more perhaps than this Dragon software…but we’ll see. Either way is going to require practice, typing skills or getting used to dictation. Sigh…
One of those days, guys. The world is a dark place…until it isn’t 😛 Tomorrow! Tomorrow.
