[ The view north along the Grand River. ]
What would have been a productive week turned out not to be after I had an attack of what felt like bad allergies, after the outside temperature here hit 80 degrees earlier this week. Now that more seasonable weather is back I feel better, but have no energy or drive to do anything.
Reading
Slowly working my way through Elvira Navarro‘s A Working Woman. Not making much progress because my brain is mush.
Writing
No writing this week. Barely even any journaling. Between the looming election and the illness my brain is mush.
And I find myself remarkably unmotivated for the Month of Writing. I certainly am not going to hit 50,000 words. I made a goal of a completed first draft of a book I started two years ago, but I don’t think I will even have the focus to complete the ~20,000 words necessary to do so.
Maybe I just need to take this year off.
Subject: Evolution, Artificial Intelligence
Setting: Ship
Genre: Science Fiction
Listening
The Gyuto Monks, Freedom Chants From the Roof of the World. I have listened to the album possibly more than any other.
