I went to bed at a reasonable time and slept for eight hours which is very good. Then I dawdled, wrote morning pages and was unable to make myself start writing the blurb. Only later did I realize that one problem was that I didn’t remember what happened in this book and what in book 3.
I did my usual yoga and five whole minutes of meditation, and then ate breakfast.
The kitchen was a mess with all the dirty dishes from the day before, so I tackled that at one point while my husband was starting to cook around me. There were pancakes and spinach:

We talked for a long time after lunch, mostly because my husband was using the wood stove and every pancake took ages. And then I read for a bit, ate chocolate and started playing Genshin. I was very determined to stop after an hour.
I did not stop after an hour.
I did eventually close the game and open a text editor, pulled out the blurb for book one, looked at the list of things that happen in that book, opened the manuscript and checked and then I started writing something that hopefully will convey the genre and feeling of the book to a potential reader.
I looked at my course homework twice that day but was not ready to actually do it. So far my answer to the homework question is, „I don’t know and I don’t really care, and I can’t say what I can contribute to the author community because that’s for the community to decide.“ Huh. Maybe that’s my answer to that question. I mean, the second sentence, not the first.
While I was still busy with the blurb the boy showed up for bodyweight training, right on time, so we did that. Only 20 minutes this time which meant I still had enough time to eat something before that day’s video call.
I was completely unprepared, as were most of us, and we had a nice little check-in.
Then I started writing this post, did the dishes to prevent another chaotic morning, watched some C-drama and went to bed.
