10 October check-in

[viridian5]

I've been adding bits to all of my current WIPs, which are "Heathens," "Kann denn Liebe Sünde sein?", the untitled 12th fic in the And Yet, Hayama Hayato Can Still Surprise series, and the untitled gen SNAFU fic.

You guys have been writing and posting some great short fic but nothing I'm doing is finished or short enough to be postable!

Entered changes for book 4, marked up books 5 and 6, completing this pass. OTOH, I've found enough discrepancies (argh!) between my two source files that I've realized I need to make a pass through comparing and reconciling them. Got nowhere on print formats nor cover.

( Another excerpt, from summer this time )

Goals for 11-14 October: Today, finish entering all current changes and compile a new reading copy of the ebook. Friday is Fall Break and I will be unable to do anything through the long weekend but spot-checks. In fact, spot-checks will be my stretch goal. See you all again Monday.

Last night I got a few more squares quilted. And pulled out a quilt my grandmother made to see what sort of repair it will need. (Three blocks, and a cleaning) I know I don't have the skill to do it, but starting to make motions toward getting it done seemed like the right thing to do. Related, grief is weird.

Tonight! Moar quilting! It really is starting to look like a quilt! Especially after comparing to the bigger quilt. I can see the blocks on the back and everything! I do also notice that I need to take smaller stitches and that unevenness is going to be a thing. Which gives me heart, honestly. It reminds me that I am making this with my own two hands and it will not be perfect like a machined item and it should not try to be. A lesson I have learned for knitted items but apparently still needs to sink in for other things.

We've got this! The mid-week blahs may be creeping in, but together we can bolster each other against them!

Day 11 check-in

Aaaaaaaaaand I'm back from convalescence, joining all you gloriously productive people!

While I was lying in bed grumbling about the limitations of the human immune system, I realized I'm still hung up on the fundamental problem of the relationship dynamic between Schuldig and Crawford in this Miyazaki/Weiss Kreuz AU mashup, and not knowing is affecting what the art will be. Maybe I'll host a poll in my journal to take the matter out of my hands, because I'm obviously of 2-3 minds here, and a girl can only serve one master.

Anyway, I'm back now, and hope to join you in productivity.

I'm doing Kristina of Get To The Art's Artist Vision Workshop week three—I'm way behindhand, I only have till the 15th to do week four, but I got stuck on "artist statement" and "artist resume" way too damn long. Week three is a core values assessment. Here's my top six (which includes one I'm annoyed Kristina didn't include, but I checked back on what I got from Conscious Money by Patricia Aburdene in April 2016 and this one's important so I'm keeping it), and I'm putting them in a pyramid where the most important is at the peak:

           Creativity
       Faith   Hopefulness
Wisdom  Sustainability  Diversity

I am so ridiculously tired, y'all (Tuesday was my observation day as an employee of a political canvassing nonprofit, and I was walking from four to nine pm, and y'all I can't do that), so I think I might put on a movie I've seen a lot and try to yarn art some...

ETA: I did a couple more rounds on a crochet hat and I set up Beeminder to ding me every time I do fewer than ten working-on-my-business hours in a week.

October 11 Check-In

Work sucked in all kinds of ways today. It's complicated: we've been trying to re-do a 13-year-old, 4000+ content items intranet website, and we're not getting an awful lot of support on it.

Headache too: maybe my glasses need to be changed around again (I wear trifocals). Poring over a data dump in a spreadsheet to figure out what got left out of the content migration scheme didn't help.

Anyway, I'm musing over my next writing work, which is my Trick or Treat exchange assignment. Like most exchanges, it's a secret, so I'm only going to be able to make cryptic references to what and how I'm doing. It's an obscure but intriguing prompt about the history of a secondary character in the canon work, and it involves world-building. I don't want to build out too much because it might be invalidated if the author does a sequel. I may need to go back to my Kindle and review/flag relevant sections. I know what the character interactions are going to be like, though.

I also spent a shameful amount of time playing with my completed 100-drabble collection. The new AO3 search options allowed me to essentially isolate it by setting a word limit (I didn't usually write drabbles until I started that challenge), and then I could sort by hits, kudos, bookmarks, etc. Unsurprisingly for those who know me, the biggest winners were Saiyuki stories, but Stand Still Stay Silent was the runner-up.
