I dids it!

I finished editing the second draft of the novel! Admittedly it has exposed a few problems which I now need to go straight back and fix, but it’s a relatively small job. Hopefully should be done by next weekend, or during it.

But still, mission done! Have celebrated by watching three episodes of The Guild then, um, going back to make these new changes. Hmm.

Editing Mid-Way Intermission Thing

It’s Sunday morning, I’ve been up for about 40 mins, and I’m starting to feel I should get back to editing my novel type thing. I also spent the entire of yesterday doing that, and edited nearly half of the remaining hundred pages. I somewhat suspect the law of mounting tiredness/restlessness might hit me today, and I won’t get anywhere near as much done.

Certainly, the fact I’ve chosen to blog about this fact instead of actually working doesn’t bode well. Also, I would quite like today’s Man Vs Camera update to be something other than the inside of my house, and for that I will need to go somewhere. Hmm.

Anyway, I’ll feel a lot better about that if I’ve actually gotten some work done, so I’d best get on with it I suppose. This weekend’s productivity has been enhanced by watching episodes of The Guild whenever I feel like a break. (They’re only a few minutes long, so it’s not as lazy as it sounds.) It’s very funny, although fairly geeky I suppose.

Misery Loves Equations

Apparently, yesterday was the most depressing day of the year. Blue Monday, they called it, which I thought was the title of a song. Apparently it’s all bollocks based on bad science anyway.

Point being, I didn’t notice until lunchtime, which was annoying, as I imagined it would have made for a good Feeding The Black Dog entry. However, I tried to write a “Blue Tuesday” day-after piece just now, and it felt kinda contrived.

So maybe it’s a good thing. Or alternatively, maybe it’s eight in the morning and I’ve only just woken up. Either way, I will be letting Blue Monday pass me by for this year. Hopefully this will mean a slight decrease in personal misery.
