It’s early-ish, but I’m gonna make tonight’s entry a quick one I think. I’m wiped. It’s not so much that I did such an inordinate amount of work today, it’s just that the work was taxing, you know? Draining.
I set up a preliminary release calendar for myself, taking me all the way pretty much to the end of the year. That kind of planning just sort of wipes me out – it’s incredibly energizing and exciting, while at the same time being very daunting and brings up feelings of “wow…that’s a lot of work.” To be clear, though, it’s mostly the former and much less of the latter; I have confidence in myself when it comes to the ability to get work done. That doesn’t mean, however, that I’m immune to insecurity and self-doubt 😛
Deep, deep down though, you guys…I am so, so looking forward to this. I cannot freaking wait to be a published author, and much more importantly, I cannot wait to get to the point in my life where I’m churning out 3,000 words of prose a day. I cannot wait. That is the DREAM. And I’m finally, finally going to live it. I love writing, I really, really do. I love the act of it. I love living inside my stories. And I’m going to get to do that now for at least a couple hours every day…
The rest of my day was pretty straightforward: I edited TG1T – deep into season 3 now for first-pass markups – and then this evening we went and had dinner with Aaron and his girlfriend Marie. That was a lot of fun. We had dinner at Soca.
And now it’s time for the sleeps 😛
Night, y’all.
