I know, I know, this is late. But with the holiday and a highly anticipated video game released on Friday, my schedules and routines have been severely impacted. There’s lots I forgot to do, and the weekly update was one of them. Sorry.
(ALSO, Horizon Forbidden West is amazing and I have zero regrets.)
Last Week
- Send Query + Synopsis to Mentor
- Spend at least 2 hours with Victoria
- Read The Secret Skin by Wendy N. Wagner
How'd I Do?
- Send Query + Synopsis to Mentor
- Yep! This was a big challenge — synopses are not my fave — but I got it done.
- Spend at least 2 hours with Victoria
- So close! I spent about an hour and a half on Victoria this week, and I’m calling it a win. It’s output and it’s consistent. Win.
- Read The Secret Skin by Wendy N. Wagner
- Yep! It was quite good, creepy in all the best ways without being out and out scary.
Weekly Word Count: 1,274
All in all, not a bad week. I read a lot, wrote a decent amount, and spent quality time with my friends. Oh, and played an utterly ridiculous amount of Horizon Forbidden West. So, yeah. it was good.
What's Next?
- Tavi Query + Synopsis Revision
- My mentor got back to me on Monday (which reminds me to reply to her and say thanks!), and it seems I have my work cut out for me… Damn.
- Spend >2hrs with Victoria
- This is going to be even harder than usual because all I want to do is play Horizon Forbidden West.
- Write/Prep Newsletter
- Yep. It’s that time again all ready. I need to write the newsletter and record audio for this month’s microfiction. Which reminds me — have you signed up yet?
- Podcast
- It’s the end of the month, which means it’s also time to record another episode of Top Shelf Librarians! Have you listened to last month’s episode yet?
This week is already off to a weird start. The holiday on Monday really threw off my groove, and then today school had a delayed start because of icy road conditions. My routines are well and truly busted and it’s going to be a scramble to get back on track. Which is only compounded by the fact that I have zero motivation to get anything done because of viddeo games.
Ugh.
I’m wondering if it’d be worth it just to take the week off and let myself have this time to get the obsession over with. I can’t tell if that’s a legitimate strategy or the obsession talking, but man it sounds tempting. Basically, I’m setting goals, but I’m not epxtecting much output this week.
And that’s it folks. We’re here, doing work (fingers crossed) and having some fun!
Until next time,
BZ
