A (Very Exciting) Day in the Life of a Full-time Indie Author
Once upon a time, long, long ago in the ye olde days of the internet, I used to follow this fun group of strangers who would post 'a day in their life' via photographs. It was a really neat way to experience other places, cultures, and professions, and last week, it resurfaced in my mind and I thought: this could be a neat thing to do again!
I mean, let me preface, this life is not glamorous. I did nothing interesting. I didn't even hang out with my girlfriend. It was a very typical day. But hey, maybe someone will find it interesting, and maybe I'll do it again when there's something cooler on my calendar.
wake up
feed the kitties, skincare routine, make coffee...
activate the machine!
cereal while checking business accounts
and then work begins on Memento Mori 2
some light [research] reading...
a second cup of coffee and a second breakfast, because I'm a hobbit
walk around the apartment trying to work out plot kinks
post in my reader group on Facebook
about 5 1/2 hours of writing and research wrapped
a lunch of plant based hotdogs and fruit
watch a true crime doc on my break
kitties wake up for lunch
I can't jog in this heatwave, so an indoor workout will have to suffice
don't forget to hydrate!
also, vitamins
time for a shower
and we're dressed and ready for errands
check the P.O. Box
needed to get my glasses adjusted
walked by this cool doorway
picked up Sichuan for dinner!
arguably the most important decision of the day
spicy, cold sesame noodles is perfect when it's 900 degrees outside
check-in with the boys
a glass of whiskey...
...and bad TV while I catch up on some administration
yikes, two hours later!
give Milo a brush and top off my glass
doing a re-read on a favorite series before the release of Book 3
evening skincare routine and it's off to bed!
Well I found it interesting!
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting too! Hope you were able to get your glasses sorted. That can be such a pain.
