Good morning, folks! I hope we’re all well today? I am not even close to being awake yet, but I’ve got an hour before I host an online NaNo write-in, so plenty of time for tea and something to eat, which should have me ready and firing for two hours of writing.
I’m also planning on editing today as well as maybe a little work on Penal Earth. Something I’ve tried at times is to get my head around is treating writing like a job. I think I’m beginning to understand it more now and with doing less hours I’ve got to learn to maximise my time and get the work down. I’m thinking about setting myself hours to write, ie: five hours a week, and depending on my day job hours I’ll increase or decrease it. When I say five hours I don’t mean sitting on my bed writing while watching a movie or something, I mean at my desk and working without anything to drag my attention away, with the exception of music. Today is a good example, I’ve got something on at about 1pm so I’ll be wrapping up for the day about then. Then a couple of hours chilling out before Stefan from Stefan’s Daily Gaming comes over for, you guessed it, gaming. Due to the lockdown we’re getting in England from Thursday we had to move this forward a couple of days and thankfully we can game and maintain social distancing.
Last week I was interviewed by the fantastic Leah Solmaz over at at site, and I’ve recently watched the pilot for her series Theosight. I’ve put the pilot below because not only is Leah very cool but this was very good. It’s intriguing, funny, and has heart to it. The characters were portrayed greatly and it was nice seeing a protagonist acting like I think most of us would if this happened to us, and I’m a sucker for this type of humour as well. There’s not been much that has made me laugh aloud like this did. So please check it out, they’re trying to get attention on it for financing a series and all the views on YouTube will help, if you dig it then share it on social media. It all helps and if the rest of the rest of the people involved are as nice, creative, and passionate as Leah Solmaz then it’s going to be something very special.
Right folks, it’s time for me to be getting some breakfast. I hope everyone has a good day!
Five hours is nice. I would have to get up and walk about from time to time to keep my brain fresh. I’m impressed that you can go five hours straight! I won’t get as long today because of other things I have to do, starting with standing in line at the polls because it’s election day here! But I’ll get in my writing and editing. I marked the video to watch later today.

Oh I don’t think I’d be able to get five hours per day unfortunately. But I’d like to do say five hours a week and build it up
If I can.
Thanks for checking out the video later, I really enjoyed it.
Good luck with voting, I hope it goes well.

Ohhh, five hours a WEEK. I mis-read your post.:-) The voting line was long, and we had to wait in line outside in the cold, but there were multiple voting booths, so the line moved rather quickly.:-)
