IWSG Day Question: What are five objects we'd find in your writing space?
You know what they say about pictures being worth more than words. Above is an image of my new desk at the day job where I do some of my writing. And, yes, I do like to pretend I work for Stargate Command.
This month's insecurity is two-fold. For one, it's been my lowest word count year since I started writing with publication in mind (since 2009!). The worlds and words are there, but the energy to transfer them from my mind to the screen has been lacking.
With that finite energy, I've had to make some difficult decisions. I want to keep writing and publishing my work, so I'm finding ways for life to be a little less stressful. Starting in 2019, I will no longer participate in IWSG. I've struggled to keep up with visiting blogs on IWSG days for a while now. It's not fair to participate in writing a post for IWSG, if I can't put in the time to comment. So this post is my last one for IWSG and the last one for this year.
I will still be blogging. I plan to post on the second Mondays every month, and I will be visiting, but at a much slower rate. I do hope you'll drop by every so often. My goals for November started off well, but the fifteen minutes of writing a day very quickly fizzled. *sighs* It seemed like all I did accomplish in November was playing with my new phone (Samsung Note 9) and continue learning languages (German, Spanish, French, Klingon, Chinese, Greek, Dutch, Italian, Danish, Hawaiian, Portuguese, and Russian) through Duolingo (127 straight days as of December 4--and, no, I didn't start all those languages at the same time).

My December goals are to relax, read, and try to finish the first draft of "Paper Faces." I'd love to publish Folds in Life and Death sometime in January/February, so "Paper Faces" needs to be written and edited ASAP.
