    Sneaky Jules Writes a Blog at Midnight To Skew the Results to a Question

    First the old business: For the fifteenth or so time "I am back and writing and etc." but we'll see. I am writing Masks in another tab right now, but this chapter hasn't really done it for my motivation in the past. Maybe now that I've changed its role in the overarching plot (which I assure you, is a real thing) I'll do it.

    It's a good thing I'm not professional

    So instead of writing Masks or the thirty minute prompts I hammered out a rough outline for the only story idea I had that no one seemed interested in, wrote two chapters of one of the more interesting ones (with an entire cast of characters I have yet to name, so every character is replaced with <Friend from town> and <son> or <protagonist>) and then stared at Masks for about forty

    I'm Just Glad It's Over

    That one's probably not a self-help book either, and if it is, it's not a very good one.

    This post is about this past week and why I'm glad it's over.

    Choices

    Cards on the table: That's not a nearby self-help book. It probably is the title of one somewhere though.

    This post has more purpose than ones I've made before though. This is here to tell... three? Yeah, probably three specific people what I've decided to write and then anyone else who wants to look.

    More confessions:

    "Starting Again"

    I've decided that since every time I make one of these I start off with an apology and then move on to empty promises about improving myself pretty soon I'll either have to rebrand myself as a self-help guru and move to California or just switch to Bojack Horseman over a character from Pulp Fiction.

    ... Come to think of it both of those are Netflix Originals starring Will Arnett... Huh.

I'm Just Glad It's Over · 3:07am Mar 27th, 2016

That one's probably not a self-help book either, and if it is, it's not a very good one.

This post is about this past week and why I'm glad it's over.

Short version: Last week was a godawful culmination of deadlines resulting a ridiculously packed and distressing 48 hours and one of the most stressful weeks I've had to deal with in a long time. The final 24 hours included three fun points of surprise difficulties just to make the day more interesting, a 22 hour waking day made possible by I think 8 bottles of Coca-cola and Celestia only knows how many cups of coffee.

Yesterday and today were mostly spent relaxing but it doesn't really feel that way, I still feel... overextended I guess. “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.” I just want this semester to be over. I can't get a break from everything for more than two days or so and that's almost worse than not having a break at all.

Oh well, back into (hopefully) the time to enjoy my own hobbies (writing, piano, mods).
I'll be jumping back on the writing train in a few days, I just need to make some progress on a programming thing (or... four I guess) and then I can focus on writing guilt free.

How about that season premier though?
