Making Progress

Good morning, Readers!

This beautiful image is by deviantart.com user IgorDyrden. Isn't it fantastic? The the link to see more gorgeous images by this artist.
I'm rushing around this morning, trying to do the stuff that I should have had done yesterday.  In my defence, it was mostly all work yesterday.  I got caught up in my writing, and forgot all about the stuff I needed to get done for ComicCon. That's happening now... or it would, if the frakkin' computer would work.  It's slow.  Work won't spring for a good one, so any replacements I get are substandard, given what's available out today.

It's frustrating.  In any case, that's what I'm doing today.  I will be getting the artwork out today, and then go back into editing/writing my current WIP.  I think I'm done with the writing part, except for to add or change scenes later on, so it fits better with what I've just written.

I'm really excited, because I think that after this, I can go through for a deeper edit, and then send it off to my first, poor beta reader, who has just done a lot of work for me on a different manuscript... Sorry!

In foot news, yesterday, there were three small cracks in my foot, resulting in a slightly easier time walking.  This morning, there was a small crack, and things are easier still.  It's still not great.  I still can't walk properly.  But there is improvement.  I will continue my little stretches until things are back to normal.  I'm annoyed, because my workouts have to be altered.

Things I cannot do: Run.  Lunges.
Things I can do: Elliptical. Squats.

I'm annoyed I'm not running, but I did do a pretty intensive interval workout on the elliptical as a replacement.  I couldn't do the back lunge twist in my post run workout, but I did do squats and a modified Russian twist as a replacement.

Still, I'm frustrated.

That is my current default mood, it seems.

Anyway, I have to restart the computer now, because it's slowed too far down and the mouse cursor has an irritating delay.  I can't work like this.

​Ciao!

Does the joy of what lies on the horizon surmount the underlying frustration? I can't help with the computer problem, but I can be a little bit of sunshine :D

Sort of? The hope that there will be a grand pay-off helps mitigate the frustration.
