So yesterday afternoon, I decided I was going to make it through all of my other blog’s Pinterest emails . Pinterest sends so many emails that I have a hard time keeping up with them sometimes, and I’d managed to accumulate a whole bunch. When I was down to about 15 (less than half left!) I decided to start reorganizing my boards. I’ve reorganized them once before, but I still thought they were far too vague. Over the course of the afternoon, I split a few and reorganized them into sections. I really liked how everything was shaping up and was almost done when my browser really started to lag. Suddenly I was logged out of Pinterest, and when I tried to log back in, I was told my account was suspended!
I’m not entirely sure what happened. I’ve contacted Pinterest’s help centre and hope to have it resolved soon (maybe the Pinterest bots thought my reorganizing was spammy? I didn’t think it was because pretty much everything I was working with at the time was already pinned).
After that happened I was pretty bummed out and didn’t work on anything else. But earlier in the day I started coming up with a vague plan for that blog moving forward. I’ll give a better update on that once I have a more solid plan in place. 🙂
Oh, I’ve also done some editing for a few friends over the weekend. The first bit of editing was at work last Thursday and Friday; I’m working with a radio-style script for a big project (sorry, I’m keeping details rather vague on that, but it’s a project I’m quite excited for!) I’ve helped come up with the story, but my coworker did the actual writing of the script. I did a read-through of it with another coworker (which was super fun) and we determined that the script was too long (it was interesting, at 18 pages it took us 27 minutes to read, plus we were told we were reading it too fast). So I’ve been trying to shorten it. So far I’ve brought it down to 15.5 pages (I was hoping to take it down to about 14, so there’s still a bit to go). But I’ve taken a lot of the repetition out of the script and just tightened up the dialogue. At this point I’d kind of like to do another read-through before attempting to shorten it any more (because maybe shortening the dialogue was good enough?) We’ll see.
Then on Saturday I edited another friend’s story. He’s been working on it for awhile and has asked me for editing suggestions. Finally, on Sunday, I started playtesting yet another friend’s game that they made with RPG Maker VX Ace; I need to finish playing through that still to let him know what I think (so far it’s been great!)
Wow, I didn’t think I had done much, but this last week was actually really busy! I’m hoping that this week I’ll be able to turn a bit more attention back to my own writing though. 🙂
