Quick Update · 10:48am Aug 14th, 2020
Being antisocial has its advantages during days like these.
I'm still working from home. My employer has begun plans to have some staff return to the office in September, but it's voluntary. So I've happily volunteered to never, ever, ever return to the office - unless I absolutely have to. I do kind of miss downtown and my cow-orkers, but 3 hours a day wasted sitting in traffic...? F*ck that!
Not wasting my life commuting, you may imagine I'd have loooooots of time for writing.
Trouble is that after 9 hours of working at this desk, when I swap over to my personal laptop, the very last thing I want to do is sit at this desk and work! Even if it's on something I love. I have to get up, get away from this wall of monitors, bake, ride my stationary bike, stare out the window, anything but more sitting and typing. sigh
But I miss writing.
So, I've started waking up at 3-4AM and getting in some writing before exhausting myself in virtual meetings and coding emails & websites. I'm determined to finish my stories here, even if it takes a while. Sorry for not being one of those "a chapter a week" kind of authors. Writing is a meandering journey for me, with many stops and starts and backtracking and editing.
Thank you for your patience.
