I&#8217;m hoping that by Halloween, we&#8217;ll be a lot more settled into a routine, but I&#8217;m not expecting to get a good night of sleep until basically Thanksgiving. Also, the priority is obviously going to be helping out with stuff around the house, since besides having a baby, my wife is also finishing her dissertation and teaching a class at BYU. So for the next couple of months at least, my writing is going to take a back seat to all the family stuff, and the blog is going to take a back seat to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, I do think I can keep up the writing even with all that&#8217;s going on. My goals are super light\u2014basically, to do at least a little bit of AI writing and human writing each day\u2014but I&#8217;ve got that work all split up in a way that&#8217;s easy to pick up and set down again whenever I have a fifteen minute break to work on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blog is going to be a bit trickier, but I think I can still keep blogging daily, if I set a regular routine. Here is what I&#8217;m thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sundays: an interesting quote.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mondays: a just-for-fun post, usually something silly from YouTube.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tuesdays: an analysis of some trope that I find interesting (yes, I want to bring back the Trope Tuesday posts).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wednesdays: a midweek excerpt from my current WIP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thursdays: a quick writing\/personal update, with some random thoughts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fridays: an interesting long-form podcast that I recently watched or listened to.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturdays: a post about AI-assisted writing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of those posts, the only ones that take a significant amount of work are the ones on Tuesdays and Saturdays\u2014and even then, it&#8217;s only about an hour of writing. The Trope Tuesday posts will be useful for feeding AI, and the AI-assisted writing posts will eventually get recycled into a non-fiction book about writing with AI (though I still need to come up with an outline for that). Everything else, though, I can probably schedule in an afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the plan, anyway. This isn&#8217;t our first rodeo, though I hear the third child is the hardest one, since it&#8217;s at that point that you become outnumbered. I&#8217;ll do my best to keep blogging, but if I have to drop one of the balls, the blog is going to be first. But this is what you can expect to see from me moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the new baby, things are going to be touch-and-go for the next month or two.
