The Inevitable Backslide
To make myself feel better about myself, I’m going to say this was inevitable. That anybody on a journey towards taking better care of oneself (one’s self? BAH! autocorrect in your heads, mofos) will experience these strange uncalled for pauses in routine that feel daunting. See, my last update was Day 28. That was ONE…

100 Days of Writing: Days 27 and 28
100 Days of Writing: Days 27 and 28 I was hoping being done with the big project at my gig would free me to write even more, but they gave me a new thing where I was happy talking to a lot more people but a bit apprehensive at being assumed to be available. I…

100 Days of Writing: Day 26
100 Days of Writing: Day 26 Finished early today, 760 words at the laptop. Need the rest of the day to focus on work, but at least I gave my best energy to writing today, so I really should be happy about that.

100 Days of Writing: Day 25
100 Days of Writing: Day 25 220 words on the comp book right before sleeping. It was on the same day I started running again even if I had to go to work that day (the one day I show up at the office for various goings-on) so it was a little tough to insist…

100 Days of Writing: Days 14 to 24
100 Days of Writing: Days 14 to 24 I might as well be cheating! But no, I’d been writing, albeit slowly, every single day. I’ve never hit a thousand a day, though. Sometimes I get 20, sometimes 400. But I’ve made it a point to think about my story everyday and write about it somehow…

100 Days of Writing: Day 13
100 Days of Writing: Day 13 Blah blah I’m still writing. The more exciting the work is beginning to be (to me at least), the more boring these update-atory (huh?) spaces become for me. I mean, come on, what do you want to know? Yes, I’m still writing, okay, we know that already. I had…

100 Days of Writing: Day 12
100 Days of Writing: Day 12 Not good today. No actual writing done, just lots of planning and researching and gaining enough confidence in the story to bang it out another day. But then also WORK. AND ERRANDS. How are the things we call ‘life’ the most mundane of things? The bill-paying things. The paperwork…

100 Days of Writing: Day 11
100 Days of Writing: Day 11 It’s still happening. Super weird. Just 504 words but I’m gonna high-five myself anyway. Finally finished Wild, Wild Country–they ended strong with Sheela. I am openly admitting it was only until the last few minutes of episode 3 when I finally had to say the cult was in the…

100 Days of Writing: Day 10
100 Days of Writing: Day 10 847. About to finish Wild, Wild Country. This documentary is insane. I love it. One day I might post an actual blog entry. But today is not that day.

100 Days of Writing: Day 9
100 Days of Writing: Day 9 Wrote 400 words. How does one write in omniscient point of view without sounding like a know-it-all? badum-tss
