It’s the end of the second week. I feel like I’ve made some progress. Not a huge amount of progress, but some.
- I am working to upgrade my computer. I was forced last month to buy a new motherboard — either the board or the memory was bad. I replaced both and added a new AMD CPU. Computers have gotten better since I bought this one in 2013. It has been a pleasure to play with. One feature of the new motherboard is support for M.2 SSDs. I got greedy and installed one — I wanted to clone my current OS drive to the new, faster hardware. {sigh} I’m flailing. At least I’ve fought my way back to the status quo. The drive works as a storage volume, so not a complete loss, but my cloning mojo was not on.
- I outlined a novel I would like to write. It’s a great concept. A little science fiction-ish, but also seems to transcend the normal stuff I see in this genre.
- I wrote a short story I had been meaning to get on paper. I’ve got a good solid draft and have shared with a select few readers. I am not sure what to do with it now. It needs a little more polish, and a platform to gain readership. I need to think through the admin questions.
- I am not sure how many hours I actually devoted to the craft — probably more on the administrative overhead than on actually writing. Routines must be practiced in order to become habitual. Practicing.
Cheers. Have a good weekend.
