Dateline 9-21-2017

Though I didn't get as much done as I was hoping for, I would still consider yesterday to be a pretty successful day. I've got my weekend schedule nailed down but I'm still trying to figure out the most efficient way to fit in more rewriting time throughout the week. I feel that if I could stick to and build off of yesterday's schedule I'd be doing just fine.

First, I woke up super early enough to complete all of my blogging obligations by noon. I then took a quick nap to transition out of blogging mode and get my head ready for writing fiction. I could/should/will figure out something other than a nap for this gear change but until I figure that out, I opt to nap because if I don't I will just sit at my computer playing stupid games. This means that I don't leave my workspace so it usually ends up taking twice as long to change my frame of mind.

After I woke up, I finally decided to revisit a couple of the websites that I used to visit for one-off task-based work before I took time off to work on my SNL Prep-Work Plan. The main site that I use and have been the most successful with has a feature where a bell chimes whenever potential work comes in. This allows me to write away and then take a break to earn a couple of bucks whenever I get a notification.

This is a pretty exciting development as I've been really scraping by for the last couple months where I was barely doing any paid work at all, so it will be nice to have at least some spending money. Keep in mind, I'm fully aware that this current stint of struggling is my own doing that I accept in exchange for the chance to chase my dream which is now, almost literally, my only reason for continuing on in life.

Right now, I'm on course to work a similar schedule as yesterday. After I post this, I'm going to walk to the store and even with the time taken to do so I should still be able to finish my SNL interview by around noon and then check out for an hour or two before jumping back into the rewrite while randomly working throughout the day.

So with that, it's time to get going and as always I will share my accomplishments when I check in tomorrow for another update.

Talk to you then,
