Today is the first day of my vacation. I leave tomorrow, and don't really need the extra day to pack, so I've pretty much have the day to myself.
I don't really plan on bringing my acrylics and ink with me, on the basis that they are bundlesome to carry and turn into horrifying messes when inadequately packed, which I worry about constantly, so maybe I could work on some of my real-media art for one last day.
My typewriter is likewise unpackable. I don't know it's exact weight, but I'd ballpark it as somewhere in the range of thirty to fourty pounds. spending the rest of my day hammering away at as much of my rough draft as I can would be appealing. I've got page ten halfway done, and could probably manage to finish page eleven, maybe even twelve before my focus gives out.
I'll see how it turns out.
In terms of what I plan to do while on vacation, I have hopes to bring some of my hard copy drafts with me, specifically, the next chapter of Where You Belong and that one Tucker-centric oneshot I don't have a name for, yet.It would be nice if I could get one published, and the other into its first digital draft.
Truth be told, I had really wanted to finish all of what I'm calling "the small town arc" before publishing more of WYB, which is why there's been such a long delay between my last publishing date and now, despite my having written over three chapters ahead in first drafts.
While I did (and do) have an outline, enough always changed between my summarized plans and what I ended up writing that I always felt like I was trying to catch up to myself when I was publishing chapter by chapter. Focusing on having several chapters, real chapters, with dialogue and description and all that jazz, drafted out, even when they're horrible, mis-spelled abominations that I hammered out at 2:00AM, just seems to work a lot better for me.
On the other hand, man, I feel bad for not uploading in so long, and given this is my one week a year where I have the free time to do it, I'm seriously considering just knuckling down and polishing chapter eight until I'm willing to let other people see it.
Aside from that, I have no particular plans. Art may or may not happen, and I'll probably keep posting here, if only because I'm deliberately trying to make it both routine and easy.
But man, I wish I could bring my typewriter. It's just so heavy.
