Weekend Update Is Kind of Cold

The weather's been kind of odd here in the Bay Area as of late, kind of warm but not? It's pretty much clear skies out there right now, and it was cool but pleasant when we walked up to the bank earlier today.  But given that Spare Oom faces north and thus doesn't get any sun at any point in the day, it's one of the coolest rooms in the apartment.  I had the window open briefly to get some fresh air in, but had to close it as my fingers had started feeling numb from the cold!

Anyhoo...I've been keeping myself busy for most of the week while A was away on her mini-vacation.  I've been continuing on my run of dealing with small errands and Stuff I've Been Putting Off in lieu of spending all that time writing and whatnot.  I'm okay with that, considering that I'm not exactly wasting time doing frivolous things.  Just getting things cleaned up, put in order, and so on.  I'll most likely keep up with that for the rest of the month, just so I have a shorter to-do list come January. 

So yes...as a matter of fact I do have a few ideas of what I want to do with 2018.  I suppose the phrase du jour for me is 'upping my game'.  Not so much with the writing process -- I think I'm FINALLY at a level I'm happy with and can consider professional -- but with the business end of things.  It's something that kind of fell by the wayside in '17 due to writing and editing priorities, so that will take a much higher priority come the new year.  Still not entirely sure how I'm going to approach it, but I'll definitely be more proactive about it.  As A once said, the "I've tried nothing and it doesn't work" is not being proactive.  So yeah...that's another reason I'll be kind of low-key about writing projects until the new year, so I can get a head start on this stuff.

Looking forward to a busy, productive, and proactive 2018. :)
