jon_chaissonAh, back to the grind. Fun fun. Thankfully there were no catastrophes at the Day Job while I was away. Systems have been known to go kerflooey and cause a landslide of issues when I'm out, for some reason...but this time everything behaved! So yeah, I'm quite glad that I didn't have to spend most of yesterday cleaning up any fallout. Just back to normal as if nothing happened. Woohoo!
[EDIT, 1:53pm PT: Seems I spoke too soon. Apparently sometime this morning all the email sorting rules in Outlook decided to go on strike, so EVERYTHING is falling into the main Inbox. And the person who usually fixes it is on vacation this week. Not a catastrophe, but a big pain in the ass that slows me down considerably.]
Meanwhile, I managed to get back on the writing horse with minimal delay. Sunday I updated both blogs for the Monday-Tuesday post, and yesterday I got some decent word count done for both the Daily Words and Lidwells. Still looking to get more, but all in all, not a bad count to hit after two weeks off. I need to focus more on that particular project at the moment (and thankfully I've gotten past the "ooh shiny new project let's spend all our time on this one" with Secret New Project). I'm still worried that I'll go past my deadline, but I'm not going to rush it if I go past it. It'll be released when it gets released. It's also looking to be a short novel, as I think it might only hit about 75k in word count. This is another new thing for me, considering Balance of Light was superlong at 125k! :p
So yes...back to the grind.
