Got my covid and flu shots today. I’m all boosted up! Or…at least I will be in two weeks. Right in time for the writers’ conference.
Worked on that some today. Presentations are starting to roll in from speakers. Still a metric shit ton to follow up with, but the process has started. Still a ton to do. I have so much to do, it’s kind of freezing – like, overload, you know? But, I’m making a list and then tackling the easiest things on that list to start with. I’ll find a rhythm. Waiting a bit for these last few notes to come in on the book, too, so I can get the final copy of that put together.
I want to write a lot more in the coming year. Starting with the end of this year, in fact. I’m way, WAY less burned out from writing this last book than I was the previous one. I’m feeling much more confident. Chomping on the bit, really. Lots to write. For real, like, I have four books in my mind to write immediately. The next two in the Glory series (really one story told over two parts, a proper cliffhanger in the middle), a prequel novella for the Glory series, and then a short story/novella on a completely different topic: writers and AI.
I want to do it all. And I can, if I put my head down. I might be able to get some serious writing done before the end of the year, and then start off 2024 with a bang, too. That’s the goal. And it feels very, very reachable.
Joy’s getting used to the brush, finally. It’s not so stressful for her anymore. That’s good. I, personally, need to get used to brushing her on the regular. I know if I do it consistently, she’ll come to enjoy it. It feels good to have your hair brushed! And it’ll keep the little knots away. Tommen went home today. Miss him already, the little cuddle bug.
Yeah…
Waiting to see how the vaccines make me feel. Hopefully the immune response is nice and light, and I don’t feel anything. Liz, really, just got kind of tired when she got hers, but then again, I seem to react more strongly to boosters than she does. So…we’ll see. If I have to call in sick tomorrow, so be it. But, hopefully not.
Night night.
