The Dedication Effect
This week I feel especially productive. Don’t ask me why; maybe it’s because I’m coming from a particularly interesting and peaceful trip to my parents. Maybe it’s because I spent last night watching some of Kanon (note to self: re-start at Episode 8)… and there’s a lot I want to talk about with that series, but right now I can’t as I’ve not caught up to ‘current’ yet (but soon). Maybe it’s because my shot of Vitamin GTD has reminded me that I am this close on, like, a zillion projects. Maybe it’s the fact that not only did I have a Case O’ Bawls in my fridge this morning, but I also found a new flavor of Amp that I actually don’t think tastes like liquid ass (for reference: it’s the cherry-’inspired’ Overdrive variant, which is actually damn tasty and still has enough go-juice to be worthwhile).
We just don’t know.
Anyway, then, here’s the plan. I’m looking to get five scenes of Incon written this week, which would knock me down to 14 left. In terms of gaming, I’d like to get leveled to 40 or 42 in FF12 so that I may have a Plotsplosion over the weekend, possibly even enough to finish up the game (but I’m not counting on it); also, the Valentine’s Day event is still on City of Heroes, and I have four characters there who ’should’ get it. If I have some extra time, I might also want to start reading one of the three books on my side-table… but that’s not terribly likely. Finally, I also want to find all of the squirreled-away writing folders I’ve spread across three hard drives and consolidate them into one. Those are what I want to do. I also have to do project analysis on three other things, which have to remain kind of hush-hush for now (well, two, anyway; the third is still too pie-in-the-sky for me to talk about just yet).
If I accomplish any one of these things I’ll be happy and feel like I’ve done something constructive this week; any more than that and I’m setting a very dangerous precedent for myself.
I’ll let you all know how it works out.
