bugshaw at 10:34am on 06/07/2005Four weeks to Worldcon. Not an unseemly time in which to produce a fanzine? [Pause for people to splutter tea out of their nostrils] I am rather bubbling with fannish enthusiasm.
If I were doing this at work, I would make a project plan.
1. Choose title. Obsessions.
The amount of writing I do seems to be inversely proportional to the number of outlets I have for it, so I'm combining a few. There will now be Obsessions#[number]:Subject, where Subject may include Squiggledy Hoy[letter]. This may get complicated ;-)
2. Choose subject. General, I think. I've been postponing Subject=Science because I really want to make it jolly good, and there's not time for that before Worldcon. In future I'd like to do Subject=Words and Numbers, and Subject=The Playing of Games.
3. All new stuff, or use some old stuff? Some old. I want to keep the same sort of layout and put in some old locs! Which leads to:
4(the biggie). Find old stuff and layouts. Hmm. Since my last issue I've moved house twice and hard drive once. This could take some time...
Ahem. Bridget? All this time you've spent writing about doing a fanzine, you could have been spending writing the fanzine. Hie thee hence to the keyboard. Which is not, on the face of it, a long journey.
But first, off to the gym. Now my back joints have stabilised with almost 5 years not eating dairy products, it's time to do something about their strength and fitness. I want to be able to hike with a rucksack. I'm going to get a new programme to suit my new goal, then have a review in 6 weeks to check progress, and then again in late September to change it to something that will fit in with my student's new semester timetable. It will be interesting to see if the instructors know what they're talking about or if they just give a one size fits all programme. It's not the best gym in the world, but it is 10 minutes walk from the house so I do use it.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
major_clanger got signed up yesterday (after an all-you-can-eat Chinese meal). We plan to go together 2 evenings a week, which might help our motivation.
