[Writer Blog] Wednesday Muddle
Wow. It’s Wednesday. It’s January. And I’m trying to shoe-horn everything (it feels like) before February. Busy-ness consumes all – which in a way is good because… Job Security – but there has to be a balance. We had a friend stay with us for a week, which was awesome but also throws everything off (we are all creatures of habit). But now…getting things back to something resembling “normalâ€.
Fiction is still slow. Still debating typing up the “Write the Story†exercises – which will make me do them more. But I wrote some last night after eating and getting my brain back from the Day Job. I go home with my brain full of STUFF (not mucus anymore, thank goodness, or at least as much). There’s so many projects with different data sets playing handball in my head. AND we have to be concerned with the Inauguration.
I’m talking with the people who made the planner I was excited about this Christmas. It’s got a manufacturing defect. I also find I’m not using all the features I thought I would and maybe something…simpler would’ve been better. BUT… I hate thinking I wasted money (not the cheapest thing) on something that should’ve been awesome but might not turn out to be… so muddle! But the customer service response has been quick (when I found it) and polite just not “greatâ€. They’re offering a partial refund and coupon for my next order. Which is fine but not great, because do I really want to spend MORE money with them? Ponder. Might talk more about this on Monday.
THANK GOODNESS I have a yoga immersion weekend this weekend – getting there close to “We start RIGHT. NOW.†But I will be there! For now, getting through Day Job. Getting some words down on paper. And looking forward to ConDFW in February.
