But just downstairs to watch dinner and maybe a movie. The week is over, I’m ready to relax.
And a productive, though unremarkable week it was. I made almost my Demand Media quota (I’m about two hours short on time for the week), figured out my self-employment tax for last year, submitted an And column and sent in another magazine query.
•I finished the 20,000 words I wanted this month on both Brain From Outer Space and Southern Discomforts. However, I didn’t get any short story writing done this week, or this month. Hopefully I’ll do better in March.
•I cut down the 11 hour backlog in fiction writing time by about one hour. Wheee!
Nothing terribly noteworthy, but that said, getting plenty of stuff done is always better than not getting it done.

There’s something deeply fulfilling in productivity. I tried to transfer that feeling to creative pursuits but it just made me stressed out about writing and it wasn’t conducive to the process.
It does feel good to be productive. But yes, I find it easy to stress out and forget how much I enjoy it.
