silveradeptGreetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-in post for 31 August 02019.
Last call! After this, it's time to head over tochina_shop's place for continuing your Write Every Day experience. It's been fun hosting for August, but I am ready to pass it along to the next stop on our traveling show. I'll have a full 31-day spread on Labor Day, most likely, once everybody's in.
I don't get a long weekend for the Labor Day holiday, based on the vagaries of my workplace and how it schedules weekends, but that doesn't mena I don't appreciate the idea behind eight hourw of work, eight hours of rest, eight hours for whatever we wish (even if in other places, the work week is shorter and the social safety net better than it is here.
I spent a significant part of my day de-winding myself from having to handle a call at work that I was still excellent information professional with, but was the kind of situation that brought on bad memories of my own life. I can only hope that the person in question uses those resources to get themselves into a better place.
I did writing as well, a lot of it time spent tring to make things work in a rhyme scheme, so not a whole lot of words progress, but at the same time, that part is pretty pivotal to this scene, and maybe I'll have a better idea of how to figure out getting into it. But I'm probably going to write the parts that come afterward first, because they're clearer than the parts that come before.
Oh, right, and I also put quite a few words into the Giving of Grief. I might have to split the chapter I'm on, because there's so much there that's less than good and needs commentary on. And a short bit of microfiction as a birthday something to someone.

Date: 2019-09-01 07:28 am (UTC)Good for you for taking the time to care for yourself after having to deal with something at work that was hard for you for personal reasons. Those things can take quite a toll on us, and it's important to recognize when you need some time winding down, self-care or whatever your body/mind needs.
I worked quite a lot on the novel this time, I don't know how much because I handwrote it all. It seems to be easier for me to handwrite than to commit to words on the screen when I'm not sure I know what I'm doing; maybe because my handwriting is so much messier and so it looks more unofficial. I also continued that worldbuilding/brainstorming thing from the other day. I think at the moment I like partly working on my novel and partly on other stories, so there's variety and I don't feel like I'm putting all my creative energy into one thing only.

Date: 2019-09-01 07:33 am (UTC)I've been noticing around professional Twitter that there are more than a few people who are asking whether our organizations have plans in place for the inevitable time when someone has to do something that is profoundly upsetting or might otherwise induce a bout of their own issues. Sometimes it seems that our bosses want us to be automatons, instead of acknowledging our very real humanity.

Date: 2019-09-01 01:24 pm (UTC)Yesterday was errand day, so there was much running around, and by the end of it all, I was completely wiped out. Therefore, I wrote another poem. Well, words are words, anyway, right?

Date: 2019-09-01 03:35 pm (UTC)Yesterday, I wrote 665 words on the main WIP, for a total of 12,807 on it for the month. I'm gonna make a real effort to finish up the first draft with what's left of the Labor Day weekend. I was also productive in other ways: got a birthday present for my sister-in-law, made a batch of incredibly delicious homemade ice cream, made a double batch of financier cookies to use up some of the egg whites from making the ice cream, and returned something to Amazon.
