I finally did it. I reached my work quota for the first time. Sure, I had to work at near full capacity to hit it and required a somewhat alarming email from my supervisor to motivate me, but it can only get easier from here on out.
As long as I get a good night's sleep, I should be able to maintain enough concentration to soldier on through the endless streams of bad writing I have to edit. My brain's taxed enough as it is, but I tell myself I can only improve from this experience.
Indeed, my ability to edit quickly has increased by about 200%. I don't even bat an eyelash at errors that used to make me tear my hair out, although I occasionally mutter curses under my breath for particularly egregious offenses.
I found a great solution for continuing my fanfiction endeavors. Before I head home, I'll stick around work to write the next piece of my chapter on Tumblr.
The only thing I have to do now is start on my gaming backlog. All of my gaming purchases have been frozen since Destiny. I need that 64 GB Vita memory card already!
