kittydesadeIt's not even that I have so many projects going on right now, it's that I have so many projects plus a busy day at work plus I'm having that jolt of inspiration hitting for multiple of them at once!
Which leads to the rather surprising realization that I've hit a work stride (well, for writing work) where I'm better off if I'm working the 75% perspiration rather than the 25% inspiration. I'm not sure what those percentages work out to if I take into account that I'm working multiple projects at once. The point being, better to be slogging through multiple projects and inspired on one or at most two than to have the brain firing on inspiration nitrous on multiple projects and blowing a gasket.
I did get some things refined in Human Resources, which helps. I also decided there need to be bull racing events in Blasted Lands, which is a much nicer thing than bull fighting. A bull run in Blasted Lands might involve people going running as a herding mechanism, too. And there were a few good things from that Agriculture lady on Twitter that need to go into Human Resources and Galaxy Hillbillies, and I think I've gone over them enough to remember. But then someone posted on tumblr about Kit and Will's relationship and my brain exploded in a revelation of how to shore up that part of Will Shakespeare: A Play and that's when the cascade fault happened.
L did help me figure out a starting point to tackle Human Resources from. If I have time and brainpower I may write that protag up tonight. Fireside is accepting novels and novellas in August so that kicked off a Must Finish Editing Jude spree which started the cascading fault.
I don't think my to-do list has significantly changed since last night when I wrote it up on the whiteboard, but now I have a long list too big to quite keep in my head? Or just a long list of to-do and a lot of details, descriptive and logistic, and sometimes being a writer is a pain in the ass. Fun! But a pain in the ass.
I'd talk about the rest of my life but the rest of my life is boring as shit, you guys. There's nothing interesting about work, I think I've determined that the itching now is a combination of nervous response to stress plus dry skin and sweat, so it's trazodone in minute amounts to help me sleep and drinking lots of water, moisturizing, and telling it to fuck off the rest of the time. Which I guess is good? I hope that means my thyroid is functioning? But it's a stupid stress response. But I guess it was reasonable given that there was some kind of actual itchy rash going on there for a couple weeks. Week and a half? Off and on for a couple weeks? IDEK but I'm going to do a patch test on that sunscreen now before I use it again.
Ugh. My brain still feels overheated and fluffy. Like a pot of something boiled over. Maybe it'll calm down once I get some distance between me and the flood of idea.
