Some people believe a week starts on Sunday. Others day Monday. I don’t have any real preference on the official start of the week for others, but for me Sunday is largely about football (fall/winter), writing, and getting a plan together for the week. That is to say that Monday is when I get the grinding going in full. I’ve developed a schedule where I don’t have to teach on Monday, which allows me to post all the online work needed and get deep into the grading as well as writing. I write this now as I am developing my personal schedule for the year. As yesterday indicated, writing is going to be a large chunk of my daily work existence. I am working to develop a ‘normal’ time for writing up to six days a week. Tuesday is a particularly busy school day, so I won’t be doing too much on the words there–consider it a reset. However, the rest of the week I am working to have a specific time and place to put my butt in a chair so I can be prolific.
Meanwhile, I am home without internet. I’m tethering to my phone at present, because the service I use informed my it would be shutting down today in order to upgrade services. Scheduled outage is no way to start your working week.
Some Thoughts:
- Speaking of scheduling, both of my fantasy drafts are now scheduled. With only two teams this year I have less to think about in regards to the strangeness of ‘stat gambling’. I will post some Wednesday stuff about that leading up to the draft.
- Reading modiphus’ Five Parsecs from Home game. Interesting. Solo gaming is new to me, and this system is very rules heavy. I want rules lite!
- Still researching various story forms. Finding a lot out there that I never considered before. Perhaps I am old enough to not be stuck in my ways…
