Dec. 19th, 2018 09:36 pmOkay well now that I have spent an obscene amount (read: a small portion of my Christmas money) on clothes, makeup, a wand stand, some stitch markers because IDEK where all of mine that weren't on projects went, more pens, Totoro postcards (PM me if you want one!), skin care products, even more pens (look I like these marker brush pen things shush), I think I am done spending Christmas money for one year. I'd also like to get some books from the local, but first I need to read the library copy of one of the potential titles and see if it's actually something I want to purchase and keep around the house. And then the rest of the money can sit in my bank account and wait until we start making bookshelves. Which hopefully won't take too long? I hope? I would like to have bookshelves ever. I would preferably like to make them myself, because we have walls with things to work around like radiators, and very tall ceilings. But that's up to the people I know who know how to make bookshelves.
I have not gotten any of the writing things done that I wanted to get done today, but I did get a bunch of author things done. I definitely need to get better about setting aside an hour on Sundays to update my website, write my week's report on what's been going on, and check in on my web presence. Update my Ko-Fi, update my Patreon if necessary. Etc. I need to do an assload of planning for next year. I have no idea when I'm going to find the time or energy between cleaning for the party and every other damn thing. Ugh. I also may need to figure out some way to make or keep a checklist on my whiteboard, maybe redo it every week so it doesn't stay embedded in the whiteboard? Magnet one to it? So I have a reminder more prominent than Habitica to do my mailing list, my Patreon, my website check, whatever else I need to do. Update my spreadsheet of markets. Last year was the year of me getting comfortable with Patreon, I guess this year is the year of me getting comfortable with administrivia. I can do it, I know, I just.... uuuuuugh juggling things.
I need to remember not to open both parts of the novel at once. That was stupid and if I do that I can't tell which one I'm working on at the moment. I did get the Mailchimp account somewhat rebooted, re-set-up, and a subscribe page coded in and up on the web page, and I got some edits in and all of that was so stressful day jobligations were actually relaxing. Well, the logistics part, the editing was mostly giggling at "house of liiiiiiieeess" from the Editrix. I still... what do I need to do. It's after capoeira and my brain is starting to shut down and there are things I still need to do. I'd like to do some more edits, I need to finish up the story for this week's Patreon and get that set up, I need to do the extra bit for this week's Patreon and set that to post Friday, and I need to figure out what the fuck the new Patreon tiers are. Well, the first couple since that's all anyone's pledged at.
(Also if I'm going to say I'm on Mastodon I need something that cross-posts between Twitter and Mastodon, I keep forgetting to cross-post there and this is just balls.)
Heh. Capoeira. I just figured out today that Groot is going to Brazil in, what, two weeks? Soon, and that means I'm going to be the most senior student in capoeira which means I get to teach. And this time, unlike the last several times I volunteered to go to class and teach (read: work out by myself for an hour and then go) there will actually be people there. Or a person. And while I know I can do it, I don't feel at all like I can do it. It's freaking me out. Hopefully somewhere between today and then I will stop freaking out and get in there and lead the damn class. I hope. I also need to bust my butt working out so I'm strong enough and have stamina enough to lead the class, but that's purely a physical thing. Also I need not to get sick till February. I can get sick after he comes back and can teach.
Meh. I should be working. I meant to log on and get some more writer work done and all I can do is stare at my classic rock playlist on spotify and make a mental list of five songs I need to download before I forget them all and start again. This is probably a sign I should go lay down somewhere.
