- The Ode Map
- The Ode Map
- Worked on the introduction for the reprint of ‘Getting it out of my System’.
The more I work on the reprint, and the additional sections I’m adding, It’s becoming less of a poetry book, and more of a personal development book, punctuated by poems.
On the work side
- Outlined 3 blog post/articles that ‘came to me’ whilst doing other things and which are now parked ready for when I feel like thinking about them.
On the work/hobby boundary
- Created 3 custom GPTs to better manage my creative writing - a project manager, a marketing/publishing expert, and a ‘sounding board’. Once I’ve used these and I’m happy with them, I will look at creating Open AI Assistants from them that I can use in automations. It’s not that I want to necessarily automate any of these GTPs, but I do need to learn how to do it, and these are useful for experimenting.
I watched some telly:
- Departure - Series 2, and Series 3. They’ve now covered air, land and sea. I’m not expecting a series 4 (unless they intend to investigate an outer-space-based disaster). All 3 series were good with lots of twists and red herrings. Formulaic, but entertaining.
I listened to:
