Braaaaaiiiiiiiins.....
1/8/08 01:57I've been a complete zombie for the past two days. I don't even want to think how far behind I am with the quota. It's always difficult for me to get into the groove of Work Hell, and this bout is no exception. Oooog. Yesterday I ended up reading my new three volumes of Hikaru no Go (OMG so cute) and today I finally updated my ficrecs page, which I haven't touched since May. :P
I added one Bleach fic, one Ed, Edd, n Eddie fic, 7 HP fics (pretty much all the remaining WIPs I'm following...) one KKM fic, and one Naruto. A big update. Now almost all of my bookmarked fics are listed, so I'll have to rely on new discoveries for additions. I was pleased to see my hits counter was up to 37! Last time I checked it was back in early May, when it was at 15. So yay! People are using my site! XD Of course, it could be one person hitting refresh every other day, but let us remain hopeful.
I told a newish manga-loving internet friend what I do for a living, and she hasn't written me back. :| She always replied within 12 hours before, and now it's been over 24, so I'm becoming paranoid. This is why I'm so careful about who I tell...unless they have no interest in manga, in which case it's no big deal and I don't have to hide it. *sighs* I hope she isn't freaked out or anything.
One of the reasons I'm a zombie is b/c I decided to finally face it and tweak my Clay FX alphabets. All through vol 13 I kept tweaking letters as I used them. Straightening edges, filling in tiny holes, checking symmetry, that type of thing. Every time a letter appeared big enough for the problems to be noticeable, I fixed it. It was so frustrating, I decided I'd repair my whole alphabet once Work Hell was over. But then W.H. WAS over, but I never followed through. So now here I am, tweaking letters as I go with vol 14. This is why I've only done three Clay pages so far, when it should be 8. *cries* Maybe I'll have to pick and chose which letters and FX to really repair instead of just clean up. If I have the time, tweak them. if I don't, don't. *cries some more*
To save time, I'm not printing any Clay pages in this vol for my final proofing. I did the same thing with vol 10 way back when and didn't print a single sheet. I'm cutting back on printing my other titles, too. I'll only print of it's dialogue heavy or contains something I feel I need to have hard copy on for quick reference. IE: "how did I position the words on that sign in the background again? What font did I use here?" That type of thing.
I'd better be able to kick the zombie status when I wake up tomorrow, or I'll be reeeeely screwed in regards to the quota. T.T Will going to bed early help, I wonder? *wanders off, muttering*
