Plot for sale

A power outage yesterday had me packing up my laptop in search of juice. Yes, I have a laptop, but the batteries are so worn out that they only hold a charge for about 10-15 minutes these days. Thanks to my sister for letting me plug in!

Toronto's been sweltering these days, reminding me of the Big Blackout of 2003. I think I'm going to stock up on flashlight batteries, just in case...

Writing and illustrating are still going well. Since coming back from Italy, I've started keeping a detailed daily work log, recording how I spend my time. At the top of each page I write my work goals and non-work goals. Below that, I keep track of how much time I spend in work activities vs non-work activities. I quickly discovered how easy it is to be "way busy" without really being productive! The daily log also keeps me focused on longterm goals as well as daily goals. I've started updating Inkygirl again, for those interested.

Anyway, since starting a daily written work log, my actual productivity has shot way up. I also don't feel as guilty when I do take a break because I know that I deserve it. :-)

Speaking of which, I need to get back to work...
