I finished the first draft of Dawn’s chapter today, and also printed out to proofread the earlier completed chapters for Ojo and the as-yet unnamed artist (I’ll name him once he gives his approval to the chapter). Found a few ‘and just what were you doing when you wrote that because it certainly wasn’t paying attention’ moments of grammar and such I corrected; hopefully there aren’t too many more.
I’ve started transcribing the next interview; artist to be named later. For whatever reason, it’s going faster than had been the case with the other interviews. I’m not altogether certain why, other than a simple case of hunkering down and doing the work. Not that I hadn’t been working before, but rather adopting more of a worker ant mentality where I accept nothing gets done until I do it, so get to it and don’t let up.
I’m also feeling rather empty tonight. Again, I’m not altogether certain why; it’s been hanging over me all day. Maybe I’m tired out from silly ego battles at my day job; maybe it’s the after-effect of this bug I’ve been fighting all week (super sore throat, coughing fits). Maybe I’m simply tired. I’m sure the anniversary of my dad’s passing away being a few days ago is a contributing factor. Six years now, and while usually I deal once in a while something will spark the pain like it was yesterday. Whatever the cause may be, I’m feeling quite morose at the moment. Oh well. I’ll get through; I always do.
