Feb. 21st, 2021 02:12 pmWe currently have the windows open because it's sunny and in the upper 50s and our apartment could use a bit of airing out, but at the same time I'm feeling just a bit chilly so I have my sweater on. I probably should work a little on cleaning the shower, but I need to switch the laundry loads first. This is par for the course with me: I want to do Project Z, but I'm thinking about how I can integrate Projects W, X and Y at the same time. Writing out a few of my blog entries while I'm waiting for the laundry to finish. Switching the loads. Clean out the shower grout I'm about to replace. Cut out some plastic covering to tape over it so running water doesn't ruin it. And so on.
My Time Blocking Schedule continues apace. A few things missed here and there, but I either have a good reason for it (needing to do outside errands such as pick up the farm box we ordered) or I don't (too distracted by some silly thing). Par for the course and expected. As long as I'm following it for the most part, yeah? And hey, even the exercise regimen is working out! Nothing major just yet, but it does feel good to be doing stretches and the occasional crunches twice a day again. I can definitely feel less joint pain and less chair slouch!
I feel I could probably kick up the word count a notch or two at this point. I'm still averaging about 500-700 per project, but I feel like I could do a lot more in the time I'm giving it. [I say this out of being aware of how often I'm tempted by distractions and how I combat them, and how much I could do if I kept at the work instead.] I did a quick tablet read of both projects a few nights ago and I'm quite happy with how they're working out so far. Project A is evolving as I'd hoped it would, giving me ideas on how I can keep it going. Project B was given a HUGE edit (two chapters were pulled, possibly to be used later on) when it was obvious that a third chapter was the Perfect Opening and set the tone for the entire rest of the novel.
Hope everyone has a great week! :)
