kittydesadeI kneeeeew it I knew as soon as I decided it was quiet enough for me to get small fiddly tasks done (filing, making sample cards for our house brand of yarn) we'd get a massive order from our biggest wholesale customer. AND LO we did.
I was a good adult, I went through my now very very old story (when did I write this? I was still in Cincinnati I think so over nine years ago) and picked out the names and terms and jotted them down in the note document for future reference and writing up the world bible for the anthology series I hope to sell. And then, heh, I have the synopsis of the first anthology written if that doesn't get sold to the one press, and then I'll have the world bible and then it's just writing more and more pitch letters. So, um. Yeah.
And thinking about all the stuff I'm juggling I really must be getting better with the thyroid thing. Last night I got home half an hour later than usual because Monday is grocery shopping night. Got the groceries put away, a load of delicates done, the crockpot washed out, some laundry taken upstairs, um. I can't remember what else I got done household wise but then I got my languages done as well as my writing done and some physics done and that hasn't happened in months. A lot of months. So, um. Wow. Yeah.
And now I have to do it all over again on top of having had a pretty big shipping day, which means I'm very happy I stuck dinner in the crockpot in a half awake state this morning. Heh. Hopefully that worked out. I did however find a sweet and bigger crockpot that isn't going to break the bank so now not only will we have more crockpot space we will have TWO CROCKPOTS. IMAGINE THE DINNER I COULD MAKE.
I'm not sure if I feel like an adult with this glee or if I just feel like an Old Person (tm). Not an actual person who is old, a stereotype of an old person.
Anyway.
We're supposed to get Weather pretty soon. On the one hand I don't want to lose the money hours I'd get at work, on the other hand now that I've somewhat reoriented myself in terms of writing schedule, projects, and so on, there's a lot of writing and editing I could do. (I also kind of think, while I'm on the subject, that I need to rethink the way I'm taking notes on the International Phonetic Alphabet. I think it's pretty much just write down the symbol, write down an approximation of what it sounds like, write down words with the sound in them because, heh, when you can speak multiple languages you can do that! And anyway that'd take a lot less time and then I can get to conlanging and naming shit.) On the other other hand, work may have hit the point where it'll be calm for the next couple of days and I can have blocks of writing time at work. I don't knoooooow. This whole having a day job thing would be a lot less in the way of my writing job if I really was making enough that I could come in, prep the day's shipping, and go home a couple hours early to get some shit done in my pajamas in a comfy office chair. Ah, such is the writer life.
Ooh, ooh, but on the plus side I got the Malachy sequel cover art done. In the same style as the Malachy cover art so there's consistency. I think I might be getting better at this.
