Another solid work day.
I got through another title for the Netflix project I’m on. Three more of them to go.
I should finish Carolina Moon tomorrow. I’ll get started on my 6 core questions Friday and finish them next week. And I’ll take Rum Punch with me out to Maui.
This time next week I’ll be in Maui with Liz. Yaaaassssss. I’m so excited. We’re doing this trip for a LOT less than last year…but we’re still going to have a blast. Time to recharge. Take a load off.
After a calm focused week last week, this week I feel…detached. I’m getting things done, but I don’t feel much of anything about it. Maybe mildly depressed, now that I think about it. But “mild” would be the operative word there.
I’m not bored. I’m not feeling anxious. I’m just not feeling particularly ‘engaged.’
And I’m not going to judge that. I’m just going to let it be. Continue on.
I will say this: I’m starting to feel a rhythm for my Netflix work. Finally. Like, I’m feeling what the hours are that pass in a day. I can kind of sculpt my day, know what I can get done by which times, it just…feels like I’ve wrapped my head around what a full day of work is like. How long it is. How much I can get done.
That’s a great thing. It means going into work there feels less overwhelming to my system. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean ‘overwhelming’ in a negative sense, per se. I simply mean it in that I just hadn’t internalized what a 9-5 job there felt like. Now I have. It makes me more confident to turn focus on nailing my ‘extra’ work time…which I have been. And THAT whole day, with writing sessions included…starting to know what that feels like, too.
I’ve been doing my Story Grid reading during my writing time. So, I’m not writing new words at the moment.
Perhaps that’s why I feel detached. I made a conscious decision to back off from that after such a hard week a couple weeks ago. But, that was touching the darkness, you know? That’s the monster in the middle of my process. I can’t ignore it.
And I won’t.
I’ll think on that tonight.
Good night 😉
