Day Note: Nov 10th

Death cold.

Published by Oleander Craw in writing Share

Today's image brought to you by how my throat feels this morning.

I'm a bit sick at the moment! Which is unfortunate because I've got a lot on my plate and I can't really afford it. But that might just be a signal I need to slow down a bit and rest...so I'm trying not to feel too bad about not getting more writing done today.


FOCUS: I worked on more of Chapter 1 of STORMFORKS. Only got 191 words done, because most of the day I devoted to training materials at the new job. I'm really going to have to figure out how to navigate my time juggling all this.

PROCESS & SUCH: Today brought to you by copy and pasting parts of draft 1 into draft 2 and rearranging words.

WATCHING: Traitors: New Blood is currently on and I think it's probably one of my favorite seasons of Traitors so far.

LISTENING: STORMFORKS playlist! I rearranged some of the songs on this and removed a few others that didn't really fit with the vibe I've got going into draft 2.

READING: Haven't made any reading progress. Rather swamped and feeling gross.

UP NEXT: Hoping I feel better tomorrow so I can get some good progress on STORMFORKS. I did a bunch of training today so I shouldn't have as much to do tomorrow.
