Getting used to being back on the road (Patreon)

Let’s start with writing stuff, despite what the post title implies.

Don’t get whiplash, but I’ve already changed my mind on how I’m going to proceed for the writing the next non-litRPG series. I’m going to slow the production of that series, with the approval of the other person involved, so that I can work on Stepping Up three days a week. so, at some point before the end of the year, once I’m done with the current book and the next one on the schedule, Stepping Up will go back to a 3-times a peek posting schedule.

On the work front. Getting back to work took more out of me than I expected, but not where I expected it. I thought it would be the driving itself that would be difficult to get back into the habit off, after 3 months without driving, but that went fine, which reminded me that Highway Driving isn’t work for me, it’s relaxing.

Where the shock came was at the end of the day. while I was home, I had a fixed schedule. Write until 4pm, with a buffer of 5pm for when I had to stretched things. Have dinner while watching a TV episode, then game until 9 or so, then get ready for bed.

Driving a truck doesn’t come with a fixed schedule. I do my best to set one, but in the end, I’m at the mercy of the load requirement, the laws and if I want to make having a day off on Sunday or not a priority. So I had to push hard this week to make everything happen, and that lead to irregular evenings without time for much other than eating and a little relaxing. Definitely no gaming.

That, more than anything this week was the surprise. How used I’d gotten to ending my day with some video game (currently it’s Satisfactory).

I’m getting used again to not always having time at the end of the day to do what I’d prefer, but it does serve as another reason as to why I want to switch to writing fulltime, At home.

And with that. I, will wish you a good day.
