kittydesadeStill have not much of a voice, but at least it's slowly recovering. And a cough, but that's less painful and slowly going away too, Witch Queen's probably right that it's just laryngitis, inflammation that'll go down as I don't stress or abrade it any more than it already is.
I don't know what it was about getting rejected for Guest Professional status at DragonCon but it seems to have been the kick in the ass I needed to get my vague New Year's resolution of be a better self-publishing author into high gear. Or at least medium gear. Last night and this morning I got the first chunk of the Long Road draft into Scriv so I can see what I'm working with, I got Snakes That Rattle up on my fiction page in various formats, I formulated a plan to hopefully overhaul my whole web page using CSS Zen Garden as a sort of a guide, we'll see how well that goes today. I answered, well, a blog comment because a lot of our comments lately are people talking amongst themselves, which we're happy to let them do. I did my languages, I did my guitar, and I pushed through and finished Sandborn line edits. So, um. Go me?
(After about an hour, hour and a half of testing the CSS Zen Garden theory yes, I think this will work excellently for me. Okay. I can totes do this. It might take all weekend, but I can do this.)
Anyway. That makes today a day of mostly stocking the store if nothing's going to happen in terms of orders over the shopping cart. I can't answer the fucking phone because stupid laryngitis. And editing and writing in between doing all the HTML and graphics editing ever. And oh dear god, no, I really need to finish this stupid class lectures before I do anything else, take the damn quizzes, or just drop the course because it's not like I'm paying money for this. So, okay, priorities! Philosophy/Justice course, then HTML, then everything else. And all of that after writing and editing. And can you tell I am easily distracted by shiny new mind toys.
Priorities, self. Writes, at least one scene fixed or infixed/edited, one course lecture in between those two, and then an endless series of course lectures and HTML fuckery until I get home, at which point it will be languages and musicking and then more online course lectures. And I have no idea when I became someone who regularly practices music but apparently I am? At least.... hell, I don't know how long this has been going on. A couple weeks? Bit by bit. As always.
Okay, so the upshot is yes, I'm doing better, I've either recovered or swung around to manic, and only time will tell which because either I'll be able to get things done or I'll trip and fall into an endless cycle of ooh shiny.
