productivity and schedules and morning

-

 School has been out for over a week, for me, and I am happy to report that I have been productive.

I think my idea of productivity is different than someone else's might be; for me, if I'm keeping up with my hobbies, which is, mostly, reading and writing and other things therein, that counts as being productive. Of course, chores and all of that count as well. but I've been keeping myself to my schedule, so let's go through that.

First, I had to admit that I am a morning person, and I get up sometime between five and seven every day. I get up, and I have breakfast, and I've discovered that if I have a big breakfast with protein, you know, like you're supposed to, it holds me well until lunch, even when I'm eating it at five in the morning. Lately I've been real into breakfast burritos, but today I had fried eggs on toast and they were bomb so I might be switching up my eggs. Then I go for my morning walk and listen to the Last Podcast on the Left. I do like, a mile. 

Then I come back and get to work. I work until eleven, when I have lunch, and then go on my second walk of the day. I do like, 1.75 miles. 

Then I come back and work until four or five, when I have dinner. Sometimes between lunch and dinner I'll have some kind of snack or sugary thing, but I'm thinking about just adding that to a meal because I really only snack when I'm bored and I don't really need to be bored and I have a massive sweet tooth. After dinner I have my third and final walk of the day, which is like... 2.5 miles or so. Then I come home and take a cold bath, both because I really always neglect to stretch like, ever, and read for a while. And that kinda ends my day. And it's been real nice.

obligatory new year blog post

-
So, it's 2019. There are a few questions to ask. What did I do last year? I started this blog, and posting regularly. While this isn't like anything very many people read (I average ~20 views a post, hollaaaaaaaa), I do like it, and I think it's a way for people do kind of understand my voice if they're curious on whether I can actually write or not. I mean, this is different from my fiction, but, well, I mention I write in my videos, now you can decide whether I'm kidding myself or not. Speaking of writing, this year's projects were... a novella for class, a first draft, a first draft that I abandoned (i'm sorry i still really like this idea maybe some other time), a decision that I Need To Rewrite The Pet Project Again, a first draft, a revision of what I'm currently calling my best work but I'm looking at another round of revision this coming year, a first draft, a rewrite that taught me yeah I can't do fantasy, and a NaNoWriMo that cons...

the writing year so far

-
 I mean, it's been going well. I've put out two books so far, and the only reason Class B isn't out is because I just haven't gotten around to uploading the final draft to Amazon and everything. It's done. I'm about 14k into the next Aughts Boys book, which I am a little lukewarm about (it's Kevin, and he's like, kind of meh, for me, honestly), and about 10k into the last Serial Killers with Cookies book. Next month I start a rewrite of a Tinon novella, and the month after I start a rewrite of another standalone. It's going well. I think I'll publish all the books I meant to publish this year--the only one I'm iffy on is Kaz at the Approach . Everything else should be finished with plenty of time to spare, which is not like, generally my experience. Usually I have crossover between years.  It's been a good year so far.
