And it’s a big one, but not as large as the report that came before it. Woah-buddy, now that was a biggie. This one, luckily enough has fewer pie charts, by a full 1/3 of the quantity, and is shorter in overall length. Which is nice. I’ve gotten all of the low hanging easy wins related to the project finished, and now the body of the audit is my next big thing to tackle. Which reminds me, I need to source new images to spruce things up a little bit more.
I read earlier that it is supposed to snow all day now. I wonder if this will keep the ice around for a few more days, or if that’s mostly a lost cause now. Not sure. Would love to get the kids outdoors for another skate or two, but “We get what we get, and we don’t get upset”. Every body now!
Laying in bed last night, and the last few nights at that, I’ve thought up some great titles and subjects for posts, but they elude me in the mornings. I wonder if I’m dreaming it, or what. I don’t want to log on to write it down as I want to go to sleep as they come to me, but eh? I’ll make due.
Maybe when some invoices start to roll in and the work slows down again – it always does. I’ll have more capacity to ‘brain Good’ and actually finish the last 1/3 of my interconnected space series. As I sit back and look at it, and connect some dots, I realized I had some real estate to make up, and some geography to cover in order to make it happen how I want. Either that or I graze past it, and save that for a third book, and just get as close to it as I can, and do it more justice when I’m not feeling so frazzled with paid day job work. I feel as though a duet of short novellas is better than a trilogy. I don’t want it to feel drawn out or padded. Perhaps I just need to be more judicious in my editing, and scrape off more sub plots or extra characters this late in the game. But then again, shoe horning some current character into a role not meant for them doesn’t help me either. I have no deadline, so I’m not going to rush it. Yeah. That’s the ticket. Not going to rush the ending just because I hate having it loom large over my head when I have free time to think. The story is not my enemy! It is there as a creative outlet to help me deal with stuff. Gives me a chance to build something from nothing, when I don’t have the time or energy to sculpt in clay or build using wood.
