    <content type="html">It's been a busy week here...starting with the Motion City Strk show on Sunday, working five days and ending Saturday night with The Airborne Toxic Event playing with the SF Symphony! Thankfully all those work days were opens or short midshifts so it was never really all that exhausting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am, however, embarrassed to admit that I haven't been up on my Theadia revision as of late. It's another chapter that needs a lot of TLC to make it work -- in this case, I had to ramp up the conflict a LOT more than what was originally there in order for everything else after it to work properly. I'm hoping I'll be back to normal quick(er) revision later this week. What will I work on after this novel is up to question, though I have at least one sort-of-almost-complete novel and maybe two or three ideas to play around with. But that's further in the future, so I'm not going to worry about that just yet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh! And if I forgot to let those few of you know who follow me here, I've been posting chapters of Diwa &amp;amp; Kaffi over at &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://welcometobridgetown.com/"&gt;Welcome to Bridgetown&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;! I'm up to Chapter 20 as of last Friday, so if you want to start from the beginning, go &lt;a href="https://welcometobridgetown.com/2022/06/20/diwa-kaffi-01/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I've decided after all that I'm going to self-publish this one, so I need to find an artist to commission. I've got a few in mind that I'd like to ask, and I'm totally fine with whatever I have to pay. This one's worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhoo. Not much else to report, so I'll let you return to your relaxing Sunday afternoon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=1006827" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">&amp;nbsp;...Not too much? Just dealing day to day, really. The Current Day Job has its ups and downs. One of the current downs being a not-busy-but-always-constant flow of customers that never seems to end. It's not the volume that's exhausting, it's the lack of let-up. [There's also the old Russian lady that tries to haggle prices (which, y'know, is not something you can't really do in a grocery store chain) with us every time she comes in. She cornered one of my coworkers for a good twenty minutes over the price of FIVE PEACHES the other day.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both &lt;em&gt;Welcome to Bridgetown&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Walk in Silence&lt;/em&gt; are on semi-hiatus for this month. For &lt;em&gt;WtBT&lt;/em&gt; I'm posting outtakes and microfiction (and maybe some not-yet-self-published stuff) for a while. My announcement for that went over pretty well with those who follow me there, so we shall see where it goes. As for &lt;em&gt;WiS&lt;/em&gt;, I have a Future Plan for it. I've been wanting to shake that one up for a while now, as I'll be honest, I've been phoning that one in for quite a while now. And as for the current WIPs, they're going. Slowly, but they're going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just dealing day to day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=1005505" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
