My writing schedule right now can be pretty frustrating. I'm glad I don't actually have deadlines to hit, otherwise it would be even more frustrating. Basically, I end up not being able to write about every other week, because those are the times when my wife is not working and I want to spend it with her and the kids. Maybe someday, (SOMEDAY!) when we get something more permanent figured out, I can have a more stable writing schedule.
I did discover some get TTS apps the other day. My ability to consume books is currently at an all time high. So, that's awesome. I do find myself wondering how many people actually know that these options exist. I doubt it will be long before these options are incorporated into official reading apps like Kindle and what have you, if they haven't already. The one that I'm using has excellent inflection. It makes errors occasionally, but I've heard human narrators that make the same kinds of errors. I still remember the book that I was listening to where the lady said nec-RAMEN-sir. Lol. The word was "necromancer". If you knew anything about fantasy, you'd never make that mistake. But either way, the AIs make mistakes on that level.
I still find myself doing more text in this stupid blog than I do on my novel project. It's probably always going to be this way, because ranting and rambling simply comes easier than creating a coherent narrative. Notice I used the word "coherent" there? Because incoherent bullshit is akin to rambling and that's what people think novelists do. They just "make stuff up", don't they? I think that's why journal-style fiction is so popular. It's damn easy to write. Fall out of bed and into a manuscript. The popularity of it is what baffles me.
