March 5 check-in

No shit got done. (It was a high-drama bedtime viewed in the extended director's cut, including bonus scenes.)

Today's tasks: send out two review copies of the new collection, ask another reviewer if they'd be interested in a copy of either that or the previous collection, and during lunch finish reviewing the page proofs of revised first collection. Stretch goal: enter corrections.

March 4

I pressed fabric and cut it into strips in preparation for cutting those strips into smaller pieces! Steps forward have been made!

To do: cut diamonds out of strips. Also check the mail because I might possibly have the shirt pattern in the correct size. (only the xl-xxxl was available in store)

March Write Every Day: posted

stake everything total word count:
11:30: 2619. I'm trying to figure out how to segue into the Face Heel Turn attempt. And how that character can convey "I'm open to persuasion" to the antagonist and "I'm not falling for this" to the other protagonist at the same time.

I've also got a secondary goal for the day: make visible progress on cleaning my room. Though I may hold off starting that till the laundry I just put in the washer is out of the dryer, because that's where my bedsheets are, and I expect to spend more of this process flat in bed than not! Goddamn bodies.

12:35: Laundry in dryer. Reordered a couple bits of draft because onlookers need to understand not to interfere in this scene and if I move a bit earlier then onlookers can figure out why a few minutes sooner. No added words though. Still stuck on that segue.

14:55: Laundry fetched, bed made, I flop. No added words yet; I need this to be Gabriel's move, and not blatantly so, which means Adrien can't demand an explanation—that would be Adrien's move. I'm gonna do some 10/20s now, I think. (Like 20/10s, twenty minutes on task, ten minutes break, except vice versa.)

16:35: I lied about the timer, clearly. But I sorted some things, and I piled up some trash and recycling even if it hasn't left the room yet, and I found the cat brush, and I folded some goddamn laundry. Do you know how long it's been since I folded laundry? NEITHER DO I. No added words yet, though, there's got to be a subtler way to get there from here...

19:25: 2689. Woohoo! Forward motion! I'm pretty sure I've got the right angle now...

March 5 Check-In

I did not accomplish as much as I would have liked, because I spent most of the day reacting to an anxiety-inducing doctor's appointment. But I did some. Some is better than none.

* Finish an embroidery project
No progress on this today.

* Finish 3 genprompt_bingo fics for a line (0/3)
No progress today.

* Finish character dossiers for my novel
I wrote the first one today.

* Write on 26 days: 5/26
Character dossier counts.

* Read 4 outstanding library books before the due date (1/4)
No reading today. I probably won't finish the book before book club. That's okay, I dislike this book.

* 10-day meditation streak
Carryover from February made it 11. Now to see if I can make 10 days in the month of March, for 16 total.
