Wednesday, Rant Due, Videos, and Burnout

I am feeling exhausted from the moment I get out of bed, so I know I need a breather. I'm spending today, tomorrow, and the day after wrangling a double batch of bread and holy shit, I need a holiday.

If I record and edit Friday's video today, I can take tomorrow at ease. Or relative ease. I've given myself so much to do that I have to really juggle time in order to take time off.

Something's got to break, and if I'm not careful, it will be me.

Good news: I have found another potential agent. I'm going to flick Clockwork Souls at them, followed by the rest of it.

I'm just about ready to give up on Adapting, but that would mean putting a cover together before shoving it out via Draft2Digital. And that's a little bit too much for me to face right now.

Another reason why I need a firkin holiday. Or someone else to do some of this nonsense for me. I'm not monetised so they can't even get a cut of the "profits" from TubeTube. It'd have to be someone utterly dedicated to helping out, with maybe the only reward being hearing the story early. Not a lot of folks around who'd do that.

Sigh.

And I have to keep doing it because it is working. Very slowly. More and more people find me on Bluesky and I've correllated that with the videos.

My TubeTube stats don't agree. I'll keep it going anyway. I never know when anything's going to go viral. And I still have a huge list of popular stories to go through. I feel like I should at least try doing it for a year. I have way more stories than that, but... a year should give me an idea of whether it's worth it.

But I do need a breather. I'm aiming to have a lot more free time tomorrow. And the weekend.

Wish me luck. I think I need it today.
