Self-Motivational Update, Because I Need One · 5:45pm Aug 27th, 2019
In spite of being at planning conferences and training seminars spanning the entire western U.S. coast and Hawaii, plus underways aboard ships in my squadron for inspections all this and next month: stuff is happening. Despite a long-range schedule that has me in month-long exercises through most of this autumn, all of winter, and into half of next year: things will be happening. Need proof?
The first chapter is ready for an editing pass, the following two sections need my handwritten rewrites and expanded setting descriptions typed into Docs, and then it's on to the cutting floor to slice them both up into more easily digestible pieces. This is a fic with a genesis dating back to 2012, and it is finally rising from its extended stay in the depths of creative purgatory. Much of the work is already done, but there are (very literally) over a hundred pages that require substantial reworking or outright totally conversion into this new setting I threw together.
It's like slogging through a muddy trench with real-life and career obligations whizzing overhead. Each one is trying to snuff out my slow but steady pace with a well-placed headshot. Not gonna happen. Head down, eyes forward, and keep moving.
Yay Progress!!!
You've got this!!
