You know what is particularly funny about this week, as I look over my planner-journal? I literally wrote "Melon" with a heart next to it on Monday, because I was so excited to have some melon as an evening snack.
Anyway, the blog post for this week is about how I am allergic to melon now.
This was a fruitful week, let's list:
- Got my aforementioned weekly blogpost in.
- Finished up the newsletter going out for July.
- Itchio Summer Sale means [all my stuff over there is half-off], this would be more notable if so much wasn't free or about a dollar a piece, yet.
- Caught up on reviews on my Letterboxd and over on Storygraph, I'd fallen a bit behind. It's not that I'm good at reviews or anything but I do use them to basically rehydrate the dried preserves of memory when I'm trying to think of something I've read or seen.
- Various upcoming New Month Planner things managed (hooray for me).
- I made a little game for a game jam and you can play it here in browser (even mobile!) for free. My first game jam ever, done! Nice to cross that off my longer to-do.
I kind of enjoy weeks like the upcoming one, straddling months. Because they don't quite count in my planners, they're there for me to mop up the crumbs of unfinished projects and get my brain casually churning on anything upcoming. So, months like this, where I've done The Big Goal (game jam, TCD now properly serialising) I can just chillax.
I am making definite progress in crossing off a lot of stuff on my main goals for the year which is nice! The system (my concerning level of brain outsourced to paper) works! Thank you as always for your support.
