jon_chaissonWhy is it that when I try to sleep in on the weekend, I'll still wake up stupidly early? This morning I was up at 6am -- the usual time we wake up during the week -- even though we were up reading until 11 last night. Guess I'm at that age where I no longer need or want to sleep until god knows when. [Then again, I'm no longer staying up until 3am on the weekends either, so there's that.]
The first week of September worked out quite well on the writing front...I had a few time management issues here and there, mainly due to Day Jobbery, but for the most part I've been doing really well. I've been more open to writing shorter blog entries (I realize many of mine border on full-on essays, especially when I'm on a tangent) and talking about lighter subjects, and that's definitely helped me contemplate adding more posting days in the future. I've also been more open to 'immediate writing' (so to speak) for my daily practice words...less about needing a subject to write about and more about riffing on ideas. I've come up with a theme for these to make them a bit more fun to write too, so I don't have to stress too much thinking about what I want to write.
But yeah, the schedule is working out quite nicely. I'm actually a little ahead right now on the blog posts and I'm already about halfway through the Big Edit of Book 3, which is exactly where I want to be. Basically I'm trying to get to a point where I'm not constantly stressing about needing/wanting to get things done. Which is always a good thing.
