Hi Shiny folk,
My nic arrived. LOL. That's it for awhile. Today has been crayzee! If I cannot, by my own hand, disable myself from here (it's fine when I'm not LOGGED on) 1.5 hrs after all my morning meds and coffee (it's a great way to wake up... maybe not for you lot as you plough through all my incoherence) but yea, for me a great way to wake up, but I'm threatening myself with total internet disablement. Srsly. Today wasn't bad (I even cleaned the kitchen and am SO close to the puzzle piece part of things with my book, it's actually quite gratifying to see where I STARTED editing (which obvs needs fixing, that's how it works) well, man. I will be gone for a while, but I think my .plan is motivating enough. I just have to disengage, at a set time, heh.
But yes, even cleaned the house and etc., I just gotta clean the bathroom (and myself) and get dinner in the oven.
I've been doing good on the shiny stuff, however. So, there's that. I just wish my self-control were easier .Life was actually (IMO) a lot more manageable when I had someone ELSE (my employer) giving me a set schedule and etc. Oh, I will also I guess, turn some notifications off. That should help. But, giving me 2 more days to get this down to "this is your coffee and chain vape time."
Also, man, I so wish that I could go back in time and do a MFA not engl/;phil. being able to critique teaches you NOTHING about how to write. Oh well. I'm still going, so there is that.
I still think I've approached things backwards. My little sis (she's a lawyer, and clerks in some program (fed) she can't talk about) who is my toughest critique-r is giving me GOOD feedback this time. LOL. It's all "I like it" instead of, "Oh, God, I can handle it when your protagonist thinks in that fashion but your dialogue just sucks" and "I know it's my pet peeve because as a lawyer, well, everyone's always italicizing stuff, I know it's your speaking AND writing style, but if you use too many italics, everything is always important, so nothing is important"i and stuff like that..
She's really my fiercest critic but she reads a lot, so an "I really like it!" is great, coming from her,. LOL.
I gotta put the oven on, I will be around more interemittently I think/hope.
Happy shinyitis to all and yeh this is how I sound after I freaking... Concentrate for 6 hours on fixing lilterature. After that, I will be cleaning my toilet. LOL.
