Day Job, Writing, Year End, and Other Things

Fri, 06 Dec 2019 20:28:59 GMT

I'm trying not to get TOO used to this new schedule of mine, because I still want to find a new position somewhere in the city. That's taking a lot longer than hoped, but I kind of expected it. Still..I'm making the best of what I have right now. I can work at home one day a week so I of course decided on Fridays, for two reasons: one, that I get to listen to new music releases (yay!), and two, that I can treat this as a sort of three-day weekend.

The Day Job is pretty tight on internet security (given my position, it makes total sense), which is a mixed blessing...I can't waste time on social media unless I take out my phone (which, I should add, gets about 2-3 bars because I'm in a dead spot in the middle of my building), but I can keep up on the news sites if I want. But on a VERY positive note, I can access 750Words! I'm not sure how long it'll last, but I'm going to use THAT access as much as I can, considering this whole Back To the Office Thing took away a lot of my writing time in the first place. So what am I working on with these entries? Right now I'm still experimenting with various things related to the Mendaihu Universe (Book 4 ideas, short stories, outtakes and whatnot). I can work on these during slow moments in the day so I'm not really goofing off and Not Working, am I? Heh. But yeah, this was an extremely positive thing that happened this week and I'm going to embrace it.

As for Year End stuff...yeah, I know I should be doing my musical round-up blog entries, but I just haven't had the time or the inclination. Not that 2019 hasn't inspired me musically, but right now I'm still basking in the moments where I don't have Far Too Many Deadlines hanging over my head. I still have the entirety of the month to work on them, though, so I'm not too worried. I'll be doing two, of course: the Best of 2019, and the Best of the '10s. I'm just as curious as you on what'll pop up on the latter!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
