Weekend updatery
May. 23rd, 2021 01:59 pmSO! Things have been happening. This past Thursday and Friday I had two interviews with A's company (different department so no issues here to worry about). I think they went reasonably well, considering that I'm always terrible at job interviews. I blather and sometimes lose my train of thought, especially if there's a multi-tiered question given to me. It has nothing to do with my work ethic and processes in general, I'm just not always good at riffing when I don't know the question beforehand, and no amount of preparation or practice will help me. It's just how my Thinking Versus Speaking Brain works. So hopefully I didn't make that much of a fool of myself...!
Anyway....! We'll see how this goes. Meanwhile, I've been making good on the synopsis writing that I talked about last Sunday, as I'm working out both Current WIPs. This is precisely what each of them needed, so now I'm not flailing or getting frustrated. I've gotten as far as End of Act I on one of them and almost ready to get into the main part of Act I on the other. So how far am I going to go with them? Good question. I think for the shorter project I'll go to the finish and for the longer one I'll go as far as need be until I feel I can get back to the main writing of it. The longer one has a lot of outtakes and notes that I've come up with over the last couple of years so I have a lot to work with, whereas the shorter one is newer and thus needs a lot more prep.
Other than that, not much else to report...I have an eye appointment on Thursday (I'm terrible at timely checkups, though my eyesight is pretty much still the same) and A gets vaccine shot #2 on Friday. And that's pretty much it!
