I didn’t mention it on my blog, but last week I finished the first draft of The AI Anomaly.
At first, I thought I’d dive right into revisions, but instead I spent the week letting the story settle in my mind. I might even give it another week before jumping back in—so I can come to it fresh when I begin shaping the next version.
I did mention last week that I have been shifting some aspects of my life to be more inline with my ideal-self (this is arising from going through The Life Quest Playbook with my co-creator and friend, Dave).
All this “creating an awesome life” stuff has really got me buzzing and shifting for optimization. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
- Got a new, more powerful PC (and two shiny new monitors!)
- Reorganized my room to better support my creative ventures
- Sold or listed several things I no longer need—hello, space and clarity
The ideas are flowing and I’m doing my best to discern what action I take based on purpose. I certainly encounter setbacks and challenges on this journey, but I am having so much fun and finding joy in this growth.
Occasionally, I feel guilty about enjoying my life so much. That’s odd and interesting. There’s something in my programming that thinks I can’t enjoy myself if I perceive that others aren’t enjoying their life in the same way – as if I can control anyone other than myself.
Pfft… Time to delete that bit of code.
