Trying to finish a book before the next one arrives in the mail.

It’s a real nail biter as I try to completecat least one novel before the latest off the presses gets delivered. I’m excited! A new series from James S A Corey, the writing duo behind the expanse. I had originally thought it wasn’t going to get released until some time in September, but I had an alert from Amazon that it’s coming in early August instead. Goody-goody. I am looking forward to a new sci-fi series to follow. I’d love to see the last GRRM book get finished and published, but to be truthful I can not remember anything that happened in the last book, so… it’s anyone’s guess how the whole lot wraps up. Fun-fun!

I am very close to finishing my first draft of a large report. I have family coming so I didn’t want to get stuck building graphs and charts the whole time they are in town. So, I had best get my last 11 sections completed between today and tomorrow.  I chose to work on it this weekend because i knew i wouldn’t have any other client work over the long weekend. I could knuckle down and focus solely on the report, and proofing all of the minute details.

Multitasking is useful, but focusing on one thing at a time has it’s benefits too. Especially when it’s a long project, with most of data points. Getting lost or muddled up is not a good way to work on this type of thing. So yeah, maybe the weekend is a bit of a wash, but to be able to focus without interruption meant I could finish sooner, and potentially with fewer misses, and edits in the long run. Bonus!

So I’m going to eat breakfast first, and then try to close this first draft out before 3:00pm. Have a lovely lazy Sunday in early August of 2024.
