Five days until a blissful two weeks of freedom!
Yes, after this next week is over I've got two whole weeks off from the day job, which will be blissful. I don't hate my day job or anything, but like most jobs, it is frequently exceedingly boring, and with my mood having been a bit low recently this boredom hasn't exactly been conducive to making me cheer up a bit.
I'm not doing anything particularly specific during the two weeks off. My wife Andie is going away for some of the time to go and meet up with some Final Fantasy XIV friends — one of whom is coming from abroad — and I'm on cat-sitting duty. Which is fine by me — to be honest, more often than not, a "holiday" at home is absolutely wonderful, because you can just do the things you want without having to worry about the things you have to do. Unless you booked holiday specifically to do something, obviously.
I'm going to use the time productively rather than sitting around in my pants (well, there will probably be a fair amount of sitting around in my pants, because the things I want to do are not necessarily incompatible with sitting around in one's pants) because there's lots of stuff I want to get done for the site and for YouTube. I may be bored in my day job, but I've been feeling super fired up about my various projects just recently, so this couple of weeks off will be an ideal opportunity to get a bunch of stuff prepared and ready to go.
Specifically, I'm hoping to prepare a whole bunch of videos for the coming weeks so the YouTube channel can pretty much take care of itself, and then alongside that I will, of course, be doing plenty of writing. I'm also going to assemble some more books, too; I'll be "announcing" Volume 1 officially tomorrow and I'm aiming to have Volume 2 ready for the end of next month. Then Volume 3 will follow, covering 2018, and after that I might have a few smaller collections to put together, too.
With regard to Volume 2, I will probably be leaving out the Grisaia feature, because I haven't yet played through The Eden of Grisaia and I would kind of like to collect all the Grisaia stuff together, perhaps into one single standalone book. This would make a certain amount of sense, as the Grisaia stuff is very long — the current article on Yuuji is 10,000 words by itself, for example! I have The Eden of Grisaia (and the various spinoff games) pencilled in to cover in the next few months, as it's high time I put that series to bed, but I've been waiting for the right opportunity to do it "properly".
Anyway. Before all that I have a week of work to survive, so wish me luck!
