La Bene Vita
The (Tentative*) Topic Rotation Self Sundays: Personal blogging days about family, leisure, work, and health. May be boring.
Music Mondays: Commentary, articles, and links highlighting music, theory, and ed topics.
Writing Wednesdays: Discussion on the art and business of writing. "Invalid Item" Thursdays: A weekly original short story submission.
Friday Reviews**: Every Friday, I will review a minimum of one short story on WDC.
* I reserve the right to change the topic of the day at any time, at least until I acquire a million followers and gain official "influencer" status, at which point I shall be more consistent in order to meet the expectations of my adoring public.
** I can only commit to one review per week. If you would like your short story to be in my reviewing queue, please send me a WDC review request. Checkout my public reviews toget a sense of what to expect.
One possibly issue among asking AI to quantify your verbs for flavor is that it is also trained on the internet, which is the worst of all possible bullies. Whimsy isn't necessarily a good thing to it. AI can be introduced to brain rot by reading twitter but they haven't figured out how to fix it afterward.
I saw a post on Twitter the other day (originally from a few years back) that said, "I'd much rather be 'too sensitive' than whatever the fuck has happened to half of humanity." Sadly, I think of that quote often these days...
A little late to be blogging, but my list has exploded, and I'm trying to collect all the pieces and glue it back together so it's at least recognizable tomorrow..
Website Revision
I designed the revision months ago, but didn't implement it until last night. Now that it's implemented, it's taken over my life. There are so many tweaks to make.
*thinks*
There were more things on the list...
*checks list*
Quick Goals Check: One new novel chapter (or rewrite) per day. I'm writing a novel???? One short story for "The Bradbury" " Oh, yeah. That was supposed to be today. Oops. Two poems for "PromptMaster !" final January submission. What was I thinking?? One review. Ooh. That might fall off the list. In fact... you didn't see, but I just X'd it. Organize and prioritize all the work projects and tasks I've been avoiding to focus more on writing. Not exactly. I started organizing. The first project I stumbled across was the website. I went - Oh, yeah. I wanted to do that. So I did it, with zero thought for prioritization. And now it's front and center. Because that's how my brain rolls.
Also, I added two things to the list in the past twenty-four hours or so: Complete my "26 Paychecks " Week 3 assignment. I have two weeks, so low priority today. Do something with this: "The Sprawling Ink Society" . I have ideas, involving a secret-santa type event where we read each other's work, maybe to review, but more be a sounding board. Then later activities with goals, which will be easier to pin down after we get to know each other and each other's projects. I don't envision this as a fast-moving activity. Anything we do there is faster than what we're doing now. I'm kind of waiting it out to see if we get any more interest first before bouncing proposals in the forum.
And since it's the 29th, and payroll is due on the 1st... Run payroll. This will probably happen Sunday. My catch-all day. If I'm not napping with the poochies again.
