| not the "meme" I'm talking about, but one like it |
Finishing up the final three Bad Online English entries for my The Superficial publication on Substack took longer than expected today because one of the "memes," stolen from John McCrarey's site (and more of a joke than a meme), was so long and had so many errors that it took a big chunk of my day to get through it. My work rate slowed to a crawl. I doubt I'll be doing those sorts of "memes" ever again: They're written by and for illiterates, and they're annoyingly formatted: long jokes that are center-justified for some odd reason, which makes them visually annoying.
Nevertheless, on Wednesday, I did successfully get through all three remaining Bad Online English posts, so that's now covered through the end of April. And I did get through two out of three of my intended The Profound posts (on interjections) for the day, and while I might be able to keep up a three-post-per-day rate for the remaining sixteen posts, I'm thinking that I might want to change my plans.
What I'd like to do instead is generate enough Profound posts to get me through my upcoming walk, then do the rest of the posts once I'm back. That means generating five more posts, which can be done in two days, then using the rest of my time from February 28 to March 14 to do other things. It occurs to me that I ought to generate more interactive grammar quizzes since I'm very behind on those, and I can get back to creating my movie-review book, adding around five chapters per day. I ought to be more than halfway through the book's creation by the time I go down south to do my walk, and the book—ebook version—ought to be done and ready for self-publication by the halfway point in April. The dead-tree version ought to be ready by the end of April, by which point I'll once again have to generate another couple months' worth of Substack material and, come May, start looking for steady work, assuming Substack and self-publishing remain a bust.
Once I'm back from my walk, I'll need less than a week to finish making The Profound posts that will see me through May.
