February 2017

Writing has been weird this month. I am trying to finish a novella that doesn’t want to be finished. The problem is that I didn’t plan out very well and am having a problem getting to the end. I know where the end is, but I don’t know if I can get there. I am also debating just killing the whole thing and putting it in the idea recycler.

The Correspondent is going strong. I have a lot planned out and I am writing about a month ahead. Yay for being ahead.

Editing Calliope and the Living Biologic and Rio Borealis is going slow. I am not a very motivated editor and I need to spend some time focusing on them both in March.

I read fewer books, but I read longer books. Kind of. Actually only one was incredibly long, but they were all good. I am now ahead of my reading goal for the year, which means I can focus more energy on other projects and not worry about falling behind.

Harper got me a subscription to sketchbox for my birthday. This will force me to draw more and to play with other mediums besides just pencil. I also got colored leads for my Kweco lead holder so that will add some fun to my pencil drawing.

And, because I needed something else to do, I started learning to play the Ukulele. I am using Yousician to learn and having a pretty good time. My fingertips are killing me but I find the act of strumming and practicing to be very relaxing.
