Brain drain

With as slow as my work has been, I fear that I'm losing the ability to focus on a project. My current assignment is someone else's personal grudge framed as a request, as a particular department has developed a bad habit of wanting frequent little changes at the last minute, with no repercussions for their delays even as they put pressure on us. It's an interesting challenge for me, but there's not really a sense of urgency about it, so my brain refuses to commit to concentrating on it. *sigh*

In other news, I think I may be developing a small Kickstarter habit. First there was the Veronica Mars movie, then the "Fight Like a Girl" anthology. I recently backed Jill Thompson's project to fund the production of a Scary Godmother doll, because she's an amazing artist I've loved for years (Delirium has always been one of my favorite comic book characters) and her Scary Godmother specials are a treat at Halloween.

Kudoscon, a convention devoted to fanworks looks terrifically interesting, too, but alas, I don't think they're going to make their goal, as it only has a couple of hours left. I don't know why they fell short; maybe the location in Minnesota dissuaded people? Or too many new cons have failed or fallen apart? It's sad, and I hope they try again.

Another distraction has been the offerings at eleventyfest. Who could work with those open in a tab? :)

Hm. Maybe I need to pomodoro this assignment to get myself going. Once more into the breach!
