Although the lack of new posts might suggest that it’s time to try Plan C, in actual fact I’ve been writing every single day… this is no less than Day 12! So Plan B is working, I just ended up doing what I normally do: turning something that should be quick and simple into something a lot more involved.
Someone suggested I should write some reviews, and I thought, “yeah, that’s a great idea, just rattle off a quick review of something I’ve watched recently”. I just watched Star Trek: Discovery for the first time and I absolutely hate the two-part pilot, it’s so bad in so many ways that I couldn’t possibly list them all here, so I started working on that and I’ve been writing much longer than 10 minutes some days, yet still it isn’t quite finished. It’s gone from a brief critique to a lengthy diatribe in which I dissect the whole plot to demonstrate why it’s so awful, so I’ve been having to go back and rewatch scenes (sucker for punishment!) and generally check my facts about this new show and a few things I’ve referenced from past shows (I believe in due diligence and not relying on my memory!).
The draft is finally completed now, just a quick run through and a bit of time to finalise my scoring system and it’ll actually be ready to publish. However, as it’s been 10 days or so, I figured today I’d better just write a quick update post, to let everyone who’s waiting with bated breath for my next post (all three of you) that I’m still working on stuff. And I wanted to also report that the new plan is actually working really well. Apart from, you know, the problem of aiming to write something brief that can quickly be finished and posted that turns into a much more involved and time-consuming mini-project. And of course the other problem that’s been a pattern of mine in the past too – that of not finishing something before moving onto the next thing, and then not finishing that either. After all, it’s now been weeks since I published the last part of my metafiction experiment, and the prologue to My Abundant Life is gathering dust with no sign of the first part on the horizon. But for now I’ll just focus on the win that I’m actually writing every day and have been for the last 12 days. One problem at a time.
Musings from the Imaginarium 
Congratulations, for completing the writing. I have to agree with you, I did not like Discovery either. I expected much more from a Star Trek Series. However, the next couple of shows were a bit better. I challenge you to check it out. I believe there are a variety of writers on the show.
Keep up the great work
