amovingtargetPerhaps it is time for Some Things
- This has been a pretty overwhelming week.
- I thought I was doing pretty good at catching up my reading page every morning, but then that got to be a little too much somehow, and then it was difficult to pick up again.
- I did get new hearing aids on Monday! They're pretty awesome in that I can hear sounds again that I hadn't heard in year, but it's also been very up and down and A Lot. Speech is still very difficult to process, some things are just too fucking loud, and is sensory overload a thing that I have to experience now?????
- I read a whole book! It was a children's book -- Podkin One-Ear -- which I bought my nephew a book for a gift, and he got the next two and loaned the trilogy to me for my birthday back in September, so it feels especially good to finally get one of them read. Not only that, but I devoured it mostly in one day and it was a lot of fun and it felt good to be a reader again.
- Speaking of my terrible niblings, my eldest niece is 18 now and I can't even with that.
- I am still behind on TV shows… As well as The Mandalorian and The Witcher, I'm pretty sure I'm more than one episode behind with Call The Midwife, and Doctor who… heck…
- I signed up to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
chocolateboxcomm and I got my assignment! I'm really happy with it and I have a few ideas for a fic ticking around -- except my brain has not been my friend this week so I'm also anxious as fuck. My recip didn't mention anything in their letter about characterisation, and it's a dual morality style game, so I may need to pass on a few questions through the system.
- Being overwhelmed and stuff, I didn't get a chance to put in a pledge forgetyourwordsout, but I'm quietly hoping to make some kind of pledge for thedailywriter next month?
- I wrote nearly 10k words this week and they were all me catching up two and a half sessions worth of DND notes because I like to draft a good portion of them out properly...
Here are some goals for next week perhaps…?
#1 Complete an outline/draft zero of my chocolatebox assignment
- at least one 45-minute sprint per day
- email the mods some questions to pass onto my recip
- - write out those questions
- replay at least the >redacted< missions of >redacted<
#2 Work on work stuff -- two 45-minute sprints per day for six days this week
- year end tasks
- cyclical reenrolment tasks
- general filing and admin nonsense
#3 Write at least a ten word idea/summary for one scene per day for my original novels yikes
- pretty sure 20-minutes per day should cover this
Other things
- Read the next book of the Longburrow trilogy
- Read at least three of wheatear's 30 days of meta posts
- Fuckin watch The Witcher
- Snowflake challenge posts 9 - 13?
- Post my thoughts about His Dark Materials
- Make time -- ten minutes? -- to try some future journalling/scripting every morning (and maybe evening)
- Comment on at least one entry from my reading page per day
