My Actifit Report Card: March 27 2021

Today has been productivity central over here. I’ve written almost six thousand words, completed the lion’s share of my coursework for this week, and updated my website at kwilleywrites.com to use a different plugin for site layout. I also started work on the closing essay for my book on pacifism, though I’m still missing a lot of portions in the middle. I just had inspiration strike, and when inspiration strikes you’d better darn well use it.

That means the text is better to read, the pages look more professional and have more fancy interactive elements (albeit to a limit, but you want to have some limit to those things), and I think the overall look is better, though that’s obviously a place where mileage may vary.

There are some problems with some older posts having broken formatting. Because the page width is smaller on the current setup than the old ones, two-column setups look awkward where text might go much longer than the accompanying image. However, other formatting tools in WordPress work better now, so I just need to go in and make some sensible modifications. I figure checking three or four posts a day to make sure they work well is sufficient to take care of this before anyone gets offended by it, since I’m not sure how often people go through my back catalog.

Speaking of which, I’m actually going through my back catalog for something special that I’ll announce here, but it rhymes with “writer’s tips.”

Actually, it’s just writer’s tips, but I’m working on a consolidation of my own articles and books I recommend across four domains of what I consider to be the essential skills for a professional writer. I’m working on a book on that (and have been for something like six months, though I may have had to restart mostly from scratch because my initial goal had some design flaws), and this is a companion element that serves to market that book, extend its contents for people interested in knowing more, and to give back to the wonderful community of writers I’ve found myself in over the past couple years.

Also, I made myself get up at a decent time this morning, which means that I’ll be going to bed at a decent time and hopefully getting back on a more sensible sleep schedule. Street noise where I live peaks around midnight, so a late bedtime means more problems with noisy neighbors.
