I read A PRINCESS OF MARS for the third time, and knocked out six or seven more chapters from SHOGUN, and that’s basically it. Mentally I wasn’t in a mood to read. I almost felt like I should force myself to do it for the channel and the Stack, and then I actively fought that urge. This is a hobby that I love, and writing/filming off of it is a secondary thing. If I start to resent it, I need a new hobby.
However, I did realize that I kind of need a schedule. At work I like to catch up on videos and shows from the weekend (listening, not watching—remember, I have YT Premium). So that’ll be my Monday gig, and in the afternoons I’ll knock out another three chapters or so of SHOGUN until I’m finished. Tuesday I can blitz most or all of an audiobook, so I’ll do that. This week it’s gonna be UNDER THE JOLLY ROGER, by LA Meyer. I think I’m ready to work through that series. Should finish it Wednesday, which is also Podcast Day for me, because WriterDojo and Talkville both air on that day. Thursday I’m listening to HIS MAJESTY’S AIRSHIP by S.C. Gwynne, and Friday we’ll cap it off nice and light with LIVE AND LET DIE by Ian Fleming. I haven’t read a Bond novel since 2013, let’s gooooooo.
Anyway, here’s the most recent update on SHOGUN, watch that and make sure you’re subbed to the channel.
