Just Stuff

Not much to say this Monday night. Kind of shot. Busy as hell day, and I wouldn't have it any other way, really. I really like Mondays because they are insanely busy. It's soothing to me to not have room in my head to think of much else but the work I'm currently doing. Or other tasks I have to do for the day. This kind of wild business is therapeutic in the way that a vacation might be for others.

I know, this sounds really bizarre. And don't get me wrong, because I'd love nothing better some days than to sit by the water somewhere with a fruity drink and a book all day. But having no room in my head to ruminate, or think of the book I'm working on, is good for me. Most days I am thinking of the current work in progress. It's nice to have a bit of a break from it.

Mondays and most Tuesdays are like that for me. Tuesdays are often even busier, because we have the fall-out from Monday so it's catch up time. So because it's so crazy at work, I don't have room for current work in progress thought. We're slammed on those days. Higher likelyhood for error so we all need to stay frosty and alert. I'm aware of this so I give myself permission not to think of the book.

Anyway, I'm tired now and probably not making much sense, so I'll point you to two blog posts I think are awesome. Check out Justine Musk's post on branding. She has several, but this is the latest one. Very, very good.

Also check out Nathan Bransford's post about voice. This is a topic which is rarely discussed and he does so with his usual class and finesse. I love this guy. Have I said that? Cuz if I have, I'll say it again. I love this guy. He is so sharp.

And have a good night, all. I'm off.
