Scheduled StoriesNext:None scheduled at this moment.Next Empty Day:Mon, Dec 23rd
As I look at my archives, I seem to find a critical moment in writing my stories and that’s pretty much always September/October.
I now realize that it’s no coincidence: my buffer provides a little padding and in fact, it’s August that is the really critical moment.
In June and July, I built and maintained a 6 weeks buffer.
In August, I wrote almost NOTHING and I am once again writing chapters in a panic to have them run.
I even wrote one chapter last week on the exact day of publication!
But I have now realized the problems: hay fever allergies.
During August, either my allergies act up and make me tired, unfocused, non-creative or it’s my allergy medication which makes me tired, unfocused and non-creative but, at least, I don’t have runny eyes and a stuffy nose.
Oh, and they let me breath better…
Now that I am slowly recovering (even if the hay fever season isn’t fully over yet), I can write again.
Quality isn’t on par, but I kind of like the 2 recent chapters I wrote (Sue and Pat) and I am satisfied (but I don’t like) Lizzie’s Mixer chapter I had been teasing you for a while.
But then again, I doubt I could have loved it…
I still hope to build a buffer over the next few weeks, but for now, I am just struggling filling next week’s chapters… only once that’s done, I’ll be able to fully fill my buffer again.
