Quick weekend log

23/6/2013

Last Friday I posted my first mini-product for sale a writers tracking spreadsheet to help improve productivity when writing. Apparently my mind thought all the work poured there surely deserved missing the post on the following day. Yep, that's the second day I miss the daily post. I was the whole Saturday working (or fighting) to develop the web for my upcoming wedding and at the end of the day I just wanted to go to bed and keep my reading of A storm of swords.
Today I had another session to work on the Oppa! video project, but the weather was so awful that we ended in a cafeteria and nothing worthy to be speak of was made. Because of the way the project is this was expected to happen anytime. I wonder why do I want to make a project that relies so much in the weather if I am in the UK.
I have also been writing, and using my brand new and cool tracking spreadsheet for the first time. I wrote 1583 words in two sessions, with an overall speed of 590 words per hour. I was working on character notes and synopses. I don't have enough data yet to draw conclusions, but it seems that I can spot a pattern appearing. My speed is a bit higher on my second session during the day. I will keep an eye on that since this is just a vague hypothesis, I don't even have proper data about long sessions or days in a row working.
See you tomorrow.

Almost broke the chain

Dinning out, drinking wine and good conversation make braking the chain a valid option.
Today I kept writing a bit more. The ideas are now flowing and I am rushing into carefully writing them and enjoy while it last. I will be able to catch it from where I left it the next time a motivation peak comes (for this particular project).
I have aslo been reading "Clash of kings" today.

I have already been there

Do am I making steps to walk? to learn to walk? to go somewhere?
The most interesting feeling (or realization) I am having about building this habit is that I am comfortable just taking the steps knowing the direction but not the exact destination. In the most physical sense I like to keep moving so I can explore if the things I think I want are the things I really want. If I stop to think about where I am going I would be just static. And I have already been there. So I guess this can explain "easily" why I am doing this (also to myself).

It’s a Direction Not a Destination
And also a bit of log of some things I have been doing:
  • Reading "Song of ice and fire".
  • Some prototypes of an invitation for my wedding (yep, it needs some prototyping)
  • Searching the spider (my office mate) which is still somewhere around here.
  • Preparing material for public realease for the upcoming video project.
