Blah

Just realised I didn’t write a post last week, and I don’t remember why.

I don’t think I’ve worked this hard for a while. 11 pieces in the last 14 days at a minimum of 1,200 words each. Yesterday was the first day in ages where I didn’t write anything, but I did make big inroads into Fable II. Got Dead Space sitting here as well, a few XBLA games, and one very popular RPG was meant to be here on Friday for a fast track review, but didn’t show up. So roughly 7 more pieces to write by the 31st.

Starting to get hot and sticky in Melbourne now. I do not like it.

Working through

We decided this week that we’d be moving back to Queensland. Not an easy decision to make, but arguably the best of our options, and should certainly help us set up for the rest of our lives.

Tons of work to do, but I’m getting there. Six games on the whiteboard right now, with another two or three coming in this week. All need to be done by the 22nd for sanity reasons, as four more come out on the 23rd, and they’re all meant to be really good.

I think I need to iron out my time management issues. Certain pieces take far longer than expected, which has a bit of a flow on effect.

Much to do

The workload is high, as are the stress levels. House hunting is not a whole lot of fun, especially when the couple is undecided on their plans for the coming year. Seven reviews on the run at the moment, and a bunch of features that need to be written ASAP. Would rather just sit around and watch movies for a week.

Weight loss stalled during the week after I binged on junk food to counter depression. I’m completely over diet Coke, so that makes the whole campaign easier.
