Work + Update to October Writing Schedule
I am so sick of work, lol. It's only my "Tuesday", so I need to get over it. Three people called out today (two only of part of their schedules: my work friend who is going on week three of sick + a driver who hurt his back and called out entirely yesterday, but agreed to do half his schedule today. The third used to be a chronic caller-outer, but it's been a while, but today he said he was throwing up.) I kind of feel like I want to flip a table if I have to reschedule anything else.
Seems like the new guy who auditioned today is probably not going to be back. He did okay, but according to the guy doing the training, he was overly fixated on the "what if something goes wrong" fear, to the point it seems like the job just won't be a good fit. We'll see, maybe he'll decide on additional training, but it seems unlikely.
Otherwise, I feel like I was kind of a waste of space on the day, sort of a bare-minimum effort day, so I'll try to be better tomorrow.

I think the seasonal sads are hitting me a bit. It was dark by the time we got home today, and I was only about ten minutes late getting out, and we didn't have any stops on the way. Very soon, it will be fully dark before I'm even off the clock, and I'll be getting up in the dark, too. :( I'm not THAT outdoorsy, and I'd be nocturnal if I was left to my own devices, and my desk has a window in front of it, but the lack of exposure to sunlight really still starts to get to me.
This absolutely makes me want to curl up and just read some fic on my phone under a cozy blanket instead of anything else, but I will try and get my writing done for the day, ha.

SO. WRITING.
My ambitious plan has so far actually gone okay!
REVISED OCTOBER WRITING PLAN:
-Write the second draft of CotH Chapter 2. Done!
-Post Chapter 2 of CotH. Done!
-Write the second draft of Step Right Up Chapter 3. Done!
-Post Chapter 3 of Step Right Up by 10/12. Done! Even shared it to the community I originally wrote it for.
* Didn't share it to the ship discord server, because I feel like an ass showing up just to promote my shit.
- No moodboard/cover for Connections of the Heart yet, but that can be on hold for a while, since Chapter 3 isn't likely to be posted anytime soon.
- Outline Island Territory, the Vampire/Monster Hunter AU that I want to continue. I am here. I started on this last night, and intend to continue tonight.
- Start writing Island Territory. Have something post-able by next week?
- Make a moodboard/cover for Island Territory, because it's fun?
- Make a moodboard/cover for my Halloween fic from last year, so that I can share a link to that fic here for Halloween. (10/30?)
- Outline my NaNoWriMo project: Poly werewolf romance.

I'm feeling the blahs too. We've had clouds and rain in addition to it just being darker. But at least it's not snow!
What happened to your expected snow?
no subject
The seasonal blahs suck. It was really cloudy yesterday, so it got that much darker that much sooner. We did get some rain, and there was snow just west of us in the foothills and mountains, but no snow down here, yet! We have had freeze and frost warnings for the last several nights, but at least nothing that's stuck around!

I don't know the ship server you are on, but showing up just to let them know you've written new fic is usually fine and welcome. Is there a self promo or fic link channel?
no subject
Hmm, I may pop in and share a link. There is a fic link channel, though it never seems to have much traffic, ha. I'm just not good at keeping up with discord servers much at all, and I probably don't know all the ins and outs of common etiquette, heh.
