Whoops! Forgot to post here yesterday -- and forgot to write and schedule a WtBt post as well -- so now I'm doing doubletime this morning to get caught up. New month, new attempt at Staying On Schedule. And of course I started with my PC acting up a little bit so I had to close everything and reboot. May as well do it now before I get too bogged down with everything else, yeah? [Looks like I still have to reboot one more time to install an update, but it's not critical so I'm not worried. I'll do that later this afternoon while I bake some beer bread!]
Meanwhile, things are going well with the two writing projects. The only downside being that I now have two further project ideas that have popped into my head, begging for attention! I'm not going to drive myself crazy by working on four different projects, however. I've got enough that I want to focus on at the moment, and I know my limits. I could probably do three at most, but that third one will most likely be a renewed effort to see what I can do with Diwa & Kaffi. I'm on the fence with that one at the moment: I love the story, but I've also taken some writerly (and professional) advice to heart that maybe it really does need more work on the prose. On the other hand, it currently has a certain personal perfection to it that makes me wonder if I should follow up with the "this would really work amazingly well as a webcomic" idea that I'd had for it since I started writing it (and semi-proven to be a legit idea after drafting up a rough storyboard of the first couple of chapters a few months ago). All of this to say that I'm distracting myself from that by focusing on two other unrelated projects! Eesh.
Anyway! In more personal news, I am happy to say that I've been REALLY good with the stretches and exercises over the last month or so, and I can definitely feel the difference. I'm no longer slouching in the chair, my back and my knees aren't as achy, and I'm definitely not feeling as tired and cranky either. Our going for neighborhood walks is also helping, as I'm making it a point not to hunch or slouch like I used to. Now if I can only get rid of these extra pounds in the middle section...
Hope everyone has a good week!
