Was going to email about a location brief, then thought to Google it: turns out itās a real place (who knew!?). No need for the email.
But the panic? Taking longer to subside this year. In previous years I didnāt know what to expect, so maybe I panicked earlier. This year, maybe because I was more confident coming in, I forgot about the mind-numbing "I donāt know anything about <>ā. Should have re-read Mattās post from 2013.
I just figured out the problem. Iāve not cracked the sushi tray yet. Think Iāll do that then pack up the laptop and head to somewhere else with wifi. The only places that donāt shut down by 11P are the grocery and the local bars.
No. Deliberately postponing Yosemite upgrade until after NIAD.
Console indicates Safari was the last to log anything prior to the system hanging (something about a missing semicolon and XML - sometimes I understand the log, this isnāt one of those times). Had enough experience to know that the last logged message is not necessarily related to the cause - Iāve had hangs that crash system before anything can get logged.
Great excuse to procrastinate though, so thereās some upsideā¦
The one thing that I find to be perfect for āgetting things startedā is a nap. It is 11p ET and it would be better for me to go to bed than stare at the screen. Iāll make sure I have a pad and pen handy as I know iāll wake up with an idea. In the morning Iāll be rested and ready to go before the coffee makes it to the pot.
Donāt stress about this. The worst thing that happens is piggy doesnāt get to edit. The best is that you are a superstar.
I wonder if MA or LD ever stared at a blank and walked away. Iām sure the little chapel roof and the boards behind Mona Lisa were just as blank as the outline. Look how those turned out.
Run a memory test suite. I think apple shipped one with the last OS. If it finds anything wrong you donāt want to do too much before you replace the RAM in your system.
Hmmm. At 22:00 if I go to bed now, Iāll wake up and have probably six hours to pork out the chapter. Though Iāll probably sleep in for the first time in ages, leaving only perhaps an hour to get my chapter done. Hmmmm.
Itās 1500 words. Figure 75wpm and you are looking at 10minutes. That leaves you 50 minutes for editing. You seem like an intelligent person. Iām guessing that 20hrs is more than enough for your brain to churn out a decent 1500 word short story.
Remember that KB wrote scrivener. Heās an over achiever. His 5K words are ā¦ he wrote scrivener. Just get 1500. Youāll be fine.
This public versus private school thingy or the city versus City stuff make so little sense to me in regards to their relevance on my brief that it makes me wonder if Iām actually understanding anything about the storyā¦
I have two scenes (likely will spawn a 3rd, as they do) planned and ready to go. Itās 11pm here, and I need my beauty sleep. Catch you all in a few hours.
