2017 Weekly Writing Log, Part 32
Sep. 3rd, 2017 08:03 am- I wrote the twelfth chapter of The Legend of the Princess. This means that the fic is exactly half done. All of the plot points have been set up, and now I need to go about resolving them. Over the past four chapters I ended up simplifying a number of things I planned to be more complicated and nuanced because I have completely run out of both stamina and interest. As was the case with The Marriage of Lanayru, I just want to get to the fucking and then finish the story.
- I'll post it when it's ready, probably at some point later this week. In the meantime, I edited the eleventh chapter a bit more.
- I wrote the first piece of flash fiction for my Ghost Stories zine. It's about 490 words long.
- I got back to work on my nonfiction book project about comics.
- I wrote and sent off an abstract for a talk I'm scheduled to give in Toronto next spring at a media conference.
- I put together my annual self-evaluation report for work. I am objectively awesome, but this was still irritating and unpleasant.
- I've been spending a lot of time with Photoshop this week, and I filled a forty-page sketchbook (one of these) with doodles of various Nintendo characters. None of this is worth sharing, and in fact I think I've been having a lot more fun because I don't feel pressured to update my Tumblr. The plan is to spend enough time away from the site that I no longer give a damn about things like "friends" and "community" as I blithely post whatever the hell I want. Self care is playing your fiddle while Rome burns.
