Slow progress is still progress
It was another terrible week in terms of writing and editing accomplished and my own personal stress levels. Work just went from one ridiculous level of urgency to another. I never realised that there were so many ways to trump something already deemed to be "top priority".
I managed to edit a whole 3 pages during the course of the week which I know, it is abysmal (and I actually have a whole blog post pending discussing what I am being forced to call Power Writing or Power Editing.) but it really was the best I could do this week. I set my alarm every morning even earlier, only for my kids to get up before me each time, and I enjoy those extra minutes with them too much to turn my back on them and sit behind the computer. I only see them a few hours a day as it is.
I found myself very grumpy this week, my moods changing from incredible optimistic to irritable bordering on the point of aggression. This culminated in a very bad morning for me (which was odd as I felt more awake than normal when I got out of bed) thankfully by lunch time I had calmed and enjoyed my day and now I feel great. I think the busy time at work is just taking its toll, coupled with the fact that I have not actually progressed in terms of my career in the eight years since I left school. (But that's enough of my self-loathing for one day.)
On a very happy note I got my hands on a Kindle this week and immediately loaded it up with several books that I have just been dying to read. I just now need to find the time to actually sit down and read them. .. and I will god dammit, I will read them all.
Tonight the clocks jump an hour forward so I may find myself having to head to bed a little earlier than normal for a Saturday night but I am determined to get a good chunk of editing done. I want to finish off the introduction chapter for the final character in the group at the very least, and of course not forgetting ( see above paragraph) READ for a while.
No new sales for this week, although I have had a few new downloads. In an effort to bring in some more sales and I have decided to lower the price to just $0.99 so I am very interested to see if this change in price has any effect.
