[Chill]

[kalloway]

Since we're staring down the last two weeks of the year, I'd like to give my annual reminder to relax, do what you can when you can, and don't stress out. The holidays get hectic and everything you have going on will still be there once the season has calmed down.

You may, of course, check in at any point.

I have 42,000 words left to write before midnight on 31 December. It's a thing.

ETA: The cat parked his butt on my keyboard after I went to sleep. The file I was working on was open, since I'd just gotten too tired to type. I'd SAVED before I left the desk, but apparently, sitting on the keys forever not only fills the buffer, it wreaks some kind of esoteric mojo.

I couldn't undo the whole wreck of typing, so I closed the file to re-open the last save. Only-- CORRUPTED.

Five thousand word story, gone because my cat likes my keyboard as a butt warmer.

BACK UP YOUR DATA AGAIN, even if you think you've done it "recently enough."
