Shannon's Journal, Volume 3

[Shannon]

Have been working on the product description for LTU6, but I am now to the point of such severe exhaustion that I can drink double my previous maximum dose of caffeine and still feel like my eyes are melting.  The time for me to take a serious break has come, and it is no longer a choice.  So... I'm going to be working on the description a short time each day until I start my much needed vacation on the 14th.  This will be the amount of time each day that I can work on it without needing caffeine.  If I have to resort to caffeine, I am too tired and I will rest the rest of that day.  I do not plan to go on vacation without having some sort of description in place, but I also don't necessarily know that it will be fully finished by the time I leave.  I will be vacationing from the 14th to the 21st of August, and during that time, work will not be my goal.  I need to fully rest and recharge.  I have pushed myself to the point of literally being exhausted to uselessness.

So... I have done the preliminary work on the description, but it needs more work.  I will therefore not be publishing it today.  I am also not planning to disclose what specific titles are going into which specific stages, not just to keep the competition at bay, but also to prevent needlessly spending time on the program when there is so much work still left to do on it.  Knowing which titles are in what stages won't make a difference in how well it works.

Thank you for your patience on this.  Platinum Lake, plus the length and complexity of this script, plus the new scripting methods, plus this being a six stage set and finally choosing to release this as a pre-order created the perfect storm to exhaust me.  I've fulfilled the delivery of the first stage.  Now it's time to rest.  I should be able to release a description in a day or two.
