Vacation is over.
Well, that was quick. I now have Things To Do, and there is Stuff - mass quantities of stuff - to get accomplished.* What are these things and stuffs you might ask? Well, mumble mumble mumble and it is very important, I say!
Don’t tell anyone, but my workload is actually quite glorious. Today I am going to write, because I want to. And, and! Some of the stuff I write I might get paid for. This causes a Glorious Positive Feedback Loop in which I have time so I can write and sometimes people buy it so I have money so I have time and so I can write!**
Everyone continue on with your regularly scheduled Enjoyment of Life now. I’m having a grand time playing with social media, so fully expect to see rationalizations about how this can be considered Work in some convoluted, stretched out definition of word-of-mouth marketing for not yet finished manuscripts.***
