I am making progress on my outline, but it's not fully ready yet. I aim to return to regular chapter posts next week.
2024-09-03 16:50:48 +0000 UTC View PostMiP Delay for moving and outlining
Part of this past week has been taken up by preparations for moving soon. On reflection, however, the bigger problem that's really slowing me down right now is that I'm running into gaps in my outline. I've been focusing too much on the short term, just getting the next chapter done to try to catch up on my planned schedule, and I've done that long enough that the long-term consequences of that approach are coming due.<...

Hi everyone. I'm sorry for the much longer than anticipated delay. A certain distraction has occupied an unexpectedly large portion of my time recently, and I did not adequately adjust my priorities to handle it.
Don't worry, it's a positive distraction. For the purpose of writing productively, however, it is nonetheless a distraction.
I am now setting some rules for myself to mitigate the impact, of both this distraction...

Can't blame Adderall for this one. I've had a bit of an extraordinary distraction the last few days, but I could have handled it better. This late chapter is primarily my fault, and I apologize for it.
I will try to have it done and posted tomorrow.

I wrote this last year, it's just been sitting there ever since, and I realized that I think probably a lot of you would find it interesting. It's not a new chapter of Magic is Programming, but it hasn't delayed the next chapter because all the work to write it was done several months ago. So, while you wait for me to catch up on writing the story you're actually here for, I hope you enjoy this sample of something different.

In brief: My Adderall issues have finally been resolved, definitively, as of yesterday. I am writing the next chapter, on track to finish it within the next few days at most.
For anyone who would like more details:
As I posted about two weeks ago, the Adderall I had in March was only about 1/3 effective for me, and that made writing as much as I wanted to difficult. I got a new batch two and a half weeks ago, and...

Last Wednesday I caught a bad cold and, well, there went most of a week. I had enough energy to feed myself and clean myself, and not much more than that. I'm still shaking off the last of it now. So, the next chapter will not be ready on time for tomorrow.
It's especially unfortunate that this happened right after the batch of poorly effective Adderall, rather than overlapping with it.
Anyway, I'm finally ready ...

This week's planned chapter for platinum tier will be delayed, possibly to next week. I will make up for it as soon as I can.
For the last month, the batch of Adderall I have been taking to treat my ADHD has been only about 1/3 as effective as normal. While I realized this pretty quickly, Adderall is unfortunately classed as a Schedule II controlled substance in the US, which is the most heavily restricted category that is stil...
