Writing Log, 1/22/2019-1/28/2019

My goals were:

1. Write 5 minutes daily - check
2. Read 1 book per week - check
3. Exercise 3 days per week - not quite, only got two walks in

Better week than the last, though I'll admit, it all passed in a kind of blur. I went out of town over the weekend and didn't bring my laptop, so on Saturday I only had a notebook and pen to get my five minutes of writing in. It was after midnight because damn, my family stays up late these days, and I was running on very little sleep. I worked on a number of totally scattered projects--campaign prep, Stardew Valley fic, picking up an old Rebels fic that is still in progress. No major forward momentum on anything, but I'm clearly thinking about a lot of stuff. 6,353 words total, average of 37 minutes per day. I haven't broken the streak of writing daily at all this month.

 

I finished Rebel Rising this week and oof. That was a hard one. I can't figure out what else to say about it besides that. I couldn't put it down, and I couldn't help but feel like it twisted the knife of Rogue One that much deeper. Decided I could use a break from new canon and picked up The Inheritance Trilogy, starting with The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, which I'm now totally engrossed in.

Still not doing great with exercise. The travel and the wedding planning and the workplace exploding is really sapping my energy. I hope things will improve as the weather does.
