i'm working on a big story--and other things!

 

So!

I've finished part one of a pretty fun story. I’m gonna let it simmer a couple few days and then give it an edit or three before publishing it here! I’ll tell you, this story is crazy because the original idea was to put two random things together that didn’t belong. In this case, it was a duck and a marble. I rolled it around for a while and came up with this big ass story that still isn't finished but at fourteen-thousand words and change, I’m going to edit it as a Part One standalone and then just write Part Two right on its tail. Maybe it’ll be two works, and maybe it’ll be a novella. I don’t know yet.

I was off today and streamed instead of doing anything really productive. So there are still things that need to be done, but they are mostly small, I’m happy to report. Even for a lazy day it wasn't all that lazy. I cleaned up my email box, I streamed for like four hours, I got the dishes done, a few other small things, and I played with the dog and/or walked him in between it and after it all. It was a nice day! I wish I could get my dumb ass to bed earlier at night so these cool days could start at a reasonable seven-or-eight-thirty, but as of right now, that is not the case and I ‘get going’ around eleven after I've checked a few sites and answered emails and things like that online with a morning fruity drink.

I got a raise at work, and that felt pretty good, even though the job itself isn't all that brag-worthy. It’s where I am, and what I’m working with, so it’s what I’m doing. For those who haven't caught on or didn’t know, I work the roller coaster side of a mountain adventure park. Yes, it fits my personality well. No, it doesn’t fit my old ass bones or my pocketbook well. But, that’s how she goes. At least I’m appreciated there. I've always said that atta-boys are worth more than most managers realize. They truly are. The money is nice, but to know you're a good and appreciated part of a team? That comes with its own set of rewards.

To the one person who still follows my blog, thank you. I’m kidding, mostly. I don’t know how many but it isn't many. Blogs aren't as easy to keep up with as you might think and to be honest, I don’t even know what compels me to blog but here I am, so here you are. Thank you. ♥

I’m gonna get to working on that story, I think. Do some light editing. I’m tired and pretty radically smoked out, so I’m not expecting miracles. Until next time, readers, be kind. The world is too full of fucked up dicks already.

Be kind.
