Aug. 1st, 2019 05:46 pmWell. Yesterday was interesting. I ate about 15-20 dark chocolate covered almonds and either because of that or because of the two deadlines I was rushing to meet I spent most of the day vibrating at a rate that would make a microwave envious. And then, oh and then, you would think this would make for an energetic capoeira class but you would be wrong. For some reason I didn't even make it through the stretches. We did individual exercises after that and a couple of games because I was feeling like I was going to throw up, Groot had been doing a lot of physical labor in the sun and felt accordingly like crap, and .... third regular needs a name. Jabari Dude, that's a good name. Jabari Dude showed up late and was still being careful of his injured foot, so we were all a pack of broken capoeiristas.
But things were done. Deadlines were met, including the one where I submitted to an agent who represents a couple writer friends of mine? Can I call them friends if we just hang out on Twitter? I don't know. But an agent who has cause to recognize my name when he sees it in his inbox, so that's a bit more ulp-y than usual. And I finished Camp Nanowrimo, if not the novel. I'm going to try to maintain enough discipline to finish the novel this month. In the midst of DragonCon Prep. Ahahahahah oh dear god.
I'm also embarking on a mission of organization, because I don't even know why. It's about a month early, tbh, usually I do this after DragonCon. Sorting out my synopses, projects, world notes, etc etc. Go figure.
Speaking of DragonCon though, I've finished securing my makeup for The Crow, Ghost Rider, Gamora, etc. So that's done. And I've got tops aplenty for the whole thing, nice tops, I've got a couple of Hanes cheapass black cotton long-sleeved tops for Gamora on account of I'm going to get green makeup all over everything. I've got a red leather vest I might take for being a Reaver. And obv I've got the black jeans, so I'm set for this year's cosplay. I just need it all to arrive so I can kit it up and pre-pack it.
Having an increasing feeling that I'm losing track of way too many things. I don't think it's a long term problem, it's just right now I've finished Camp Nanowrimo and I'm trying to pick up all the threads at once and I keep dropping them. Which is deeply uncomfortable given that I've spent most of the last month being relatively organized about drafting and a chunk of the last ten days being organized about everything else. And argh. I guess that's a task for when I get home, write up shit probably on the whiteboard, start crossing it off. I can do this. I swear. To myself, and also vociferously and often.
(No, I know I can, I just need to remind myself that I can, and then to remind myself to take it slow, make lists so I don't forget things, and go a step at a time.)
