Accountability #2

Started a new story today. I placed it in the same imaginary town where my last story took place. It just felt right. I got about a 1,000 words done on it today which impressed me since I didn’t have much time to write. Let’s just say that the voice came and the story started … Continue reading Accountability #2

Not quitting

I stayed up waaaaaaayyy too late last night. But, I hope I got done what I needed to do as a preliminary to my next Kickstarter campaign. At least I finally found an answer to solve my problem. Dumb too, because it should have been one of the first things I thought of. Of course, … Continue reading Not quitting

X-rays weren’t in the plan

As suspected, today was a weird day. Of course, my day hadn’t intended on having x-rays either, but it did. My health care provider wanted to make sure that my back and hip didn’t have lingering injuries from the bike accident last year. Remember that? Yeah, it still wasn’t a focus on my poor head … Continue reading X-rays weren’t in the plan

Long live the pressure cooker

I ended up writing for an hour last night instead of the 20-30 minutes that I had planned. Whoops. The voice got going and I was sucked down the rabbit hole. So, I didn’t get to bed early to read. I did nearly fall asleep reading though. I’m not able to write tonight (sad face) … Continue reading Long live the pressure cooker

Letting today be today

Writing went well today, but I woke up not feeling so well so I went and took a nap in the middle of the day. It was a gloomy, rainy day today, so I didn’t mind so much that I felt a little off. Gee, I can’t imagine why I might not feel well after … Continue reading Letting today be today

Habit forming

I’ve been out spending time with family today. We saw an early movie, played games, and ate way too much food. Now, I’m going to be disciplined enough to go write some. I don’t think it’ll be very much, but I’m going to go sit in my room if nothing else. I will drag myself … Continue reading Habit forming

Another day of moving

Didn’t sleep well. I did get some reading done though. Cats woke meat the usual time and I discovered a client was urgently trying to get a hold of me. Spent an hour there before I’d even really woken up. The hazards of working at home. Then, cooking for Merlin. Doing lots of other stuff … Continue reading Another day of moving

Running through the day

I hit the ground running today and it just hasn’t stopped. The story assignment for my upcoming writing class came in. I swore I wasn’t going to start it, that I wanted to let me creative voice think on it a little bit, but no, the creative voice didn’t want to think on it. It … Continue reading Running through the day

Change in routine is hard

Short blog tonight — sorry. I really want to go get some writing done. I went shopping this morning and then did some cooking before I sat down to write, and because I had such little time, I just couldn’t focus my mind. It was a really difficult change in my schedule, but I do … Continue reading Change in routine is hard

A tale of trust

Best line I heard today: “The day is long. I could puke again.” Somedays are just like that. My dear friend who said this to me, I am so sorry that you aren’t feeling well. Thank you for the laugh though. I learned a valuable lesson with creative voice today. Last week, I started a … Continue reading A tale of trust
