jon_chaissonI didn't exactly plan to skip my midweek post, I just completely forgot about it is all. Bound to happen sooner or later.
Anyway! Tomorrow starts my return to the writing grind. I actually picked up Theadia again about a week ago, but I'd done that on purpose: I chose to work on it because I wanted to and not out of a sense of duty or an attempt to force myself into a writing habit. These last two weeks have been pretty much all about calming down from the Day Job's Christmas rush and just taking it easy. This actually worked in my favor because I'm in the midst of cleaning up a scene that needed some heavy rework, and this approach kept me from getting too stressed out about it.
Meanwhile, my Day Job hours seem to be sliding into a semblance of normalcy -- mostly opening shift (or very close to it) Tuesday through Saturday, finally giving me a bit of a two-day weekend of sorts. It's mostly been upstock work at the start in addition to my two-day bookkeeping duties on Friday and Saturday, and while it can be exhausting of we have a huge delivery (those cartons of milk are heavier than they look when you have to stock several dozen of them while inside a cold walk-in fridge).
Still, as much as I enjoyed (and needed) that small break from my whiteboard schedule, I'm glad to be back!
