Am I writing my Week End Review on the first day of the new week instead of the last day of the old one? Why yes… yes I am.
Should I probably think of something else to call this little thing because we all know my procrastination won’t let me be regular? Probably.
This past week The Butchered Writers wrapped up their 31 Days of Free Horror Stories for October. They are all still up to read for free for now, and I do recommend going to read them. Some are halloween themed, but most are just your average everyday horror story. We don’t really have anything planned for November, but do have something up our sleeves for December, so stay turned for that.
I did finally finish reading 2 books this past week. I’ve been hopping from book to book and not actually finishing anything, so that’s a nice change of pace. Two book reviews will be coming up soon.
I’ve set a tentative release date of January 21st for Bushy-Tailed Demons, my squirrel themed horror anthology. That just so happens to be National Squirrel day, which I thought was just a fun day to release it.
I’m working on a novella using this years Inktober prompts to guide my chapters. I was going to do it during the month of October, but other obligations were in my way for that one.
Issue 2 of Zine of Uncertain Contents will be released early in December, so I’ll be working on that throughout the month as well.
Mostly my plans for the remaining November revolve around finding a rhythm that lets me do all the things that I want to do. That includes building up a portfolio of unused written fiction that I can draw on, getting a publication routine set up for Feral Coziness (blog) and Wild Verbs (substack) and Ko-fi, continuing to work on Z.U.C. getting some crafting time in while also continuing to work full time and somehow finding time to interact with my own family.
Not too much…right?
Love the honesty here—it’s refreshing to see someone embrace their procrastination so openly! 😄 It sounds like you’ve got a lot of exciting projects in the works, from Bushy-Tailed Demons to the Inktober novella and Z.U.C. Issue 2. I’m especially intrigued by the squirrel-themed horror anthology—what a fun and unique idea!
It also sounds like November is going to be a balancing act, but I have no doubt you’ll find a rhythm that works for you. Can’t wait to see the upcoming book reviews and everything else you’ve got planned. Keep us updated—your week-end reviews (or maybe “week-start reviews”?) are always a fun read.
Yeah…there’s no need to for me to fight my procrastination. Its not a flaw, its a symptom. With ADHD and being on the spectrum my ability to stay on target never had a chance. And I didn’t even mention working full time retail during holiday season with everything else I’m working on in November.
