cyber what-now? [View in browser](=.pSmvWo4YEiFTXpZQDE9JoeY8pz77ioevDXMddAjAkfM) [blackfriday & cybermonday deals for authors](=.pGwE00pBN0lj-NS2SslWfaGi-RScehne2ppWEJCFJzA) It's so weird to have black friday deals that continue into "cyber monday" - one is meant for retail and the other for online - but who actually goes out to buy stuff anymore when we can shop with pancakes and netflix under the covers? It was impossible to choose a catchy headline when everyone else is screaming for attention and you're probably ignoring your inbox until it all settles down... but I also felt compelled to share some things that you might need or enjoy. I also, predictably I think, screwed up some of the links and discount codes, which should be fixed now if you had trouble or missed my last email: [Check out the cybermonday deals](=.kCeLo4XJssBQ8mqB_7-3ALdPwgyzeux9KoHhKfu0jmw)... some of these are expiring tonight but I'll leave mine open for a few days to make sure you get in. Action & Avoidance I've been musing on art and productivity this month, as one does... and today I found a song that hits the feels (["painter" by Aimee Carty](=.t60bqBvkw9NsKeL7VdI_4SAvWPyLOcVxeTJ9sq3EUQk)). It's newish I think, so you might not have heard it.=.LuUXdi4_IcbOS3mFGLNB8zqPTYxpBlG3DtHAjOqQcWs It's motivational, which is super important for creatives. But even with the motivation... creating things is always a challenge. I've spent most of last year, making things I wanted to make, without the experience or skill to do it successfully. And once frustration sets in, I'll procrastinate until an arbitrary deadline and then rush to complete things to roughly 90% and leave the last bit unfinished... it's not a perfect system at all, but I've come to terms with [my brain](=.p_E8xhKHMg4qZgQFg2AsxXiloKP5qQWBCDCyoAy9H44) and we've negotiated an uneasy truce which gets some things done some of the time. My wife is a planner, and she avoids stress by making sure everything is scheduled appropriately. I'm the opposite, and I thrive on chaos. There's a penalty either way; inability to deal with change, and the steeper costs of last-minute decisions. I put everything off and refuse to face them so I can commit to the work I want to be doing right now, but that creates unnecessary emergencies that could have been avoided or handled earlier, or costly and unnecessary accidents. Doing things the comfortable way, doesn't always make sense, and sometimes it's worth taking time to figure out better tools to make life easier. There's never a *best* time for this, because exploring unfamiliar territory is exhausting and making decisions is tiresome. BUT, [black friday and cyber monday deals](=.H0msNcmlj4vsMCSqCsuJeQl6nH0zGu0TEvuDw9Jd0fk) are a pretty decent time to grab discounts - even lifetime access in some cases - to things you probably need but haven't had time to explore. Happy Writing! Derek Murphy Ps... I really want to tell you about a new writing software I think is better than scrivener; it deserves its own email but I'm not prepared to write one yet - however since I have seen people start to mention it, and I wanted to make sure it's on your radar, I posted [a video review on youtube](=.JB4QiqbI29cmd7YHyAHx9DdczeIzoSYM6rehF0PhQng). =.YTeKwFAoUXvuHrRJdKgnFzkc_YFfnXSGKEs1PZZmShU [Share to Facebook](=.DDLBfFIXl56i7dOMf6UtJ10-ZHiv_4h47OH6-Q2-DyY) =.0TyppB_3I-Rrkl1Q3hwuyqmG0Qu2i-YoNvkxRPc3duQ [Share to Twitter](=.k9PIU4xQY0JKQ2MrokgTzPKLDOorVl_WM4ObuJS-Oso) =.IfxYAUyuCPAJnbMbHiT5NJycuUh3Mil7zvq7T8hWl1k [Forward email](=.l5LdbAJXwUTmOl_oOoc_BiHlLLcBUGCwFbeexBrG01o) Do not want to see it again?
