Purpose



To keep track and document all of the things I do. Books read, books written, games played, and maybe some other random things.

I wrote about 1.5k. So halfway to my goal. It's not a huge deal, though I am mildly disappointed with myself. The family did their usual thing of being extra distracting. I guess I'm going to have to consider moving my desk space. I just hate moving from one table to another to another all of the time. I'd like to be able to camp in one area easily.

I'll do more experimenting with this over Spring Break. For now, I'm going to focus on what I can and test some other ideas out.

Today I'm going to write. That is the only thing I desire to accomplish. Everything else is a perk. Today I am writing three thousand words.

The end.

I am going to succeed.

I did a small amount of writing yesterday and then I read.

Today I was going to do more writing. I got a page done handwritten in my notebook, and then I became over socialized and tapped out. It's not my finest day, but I am mentally exhausted. I won't be bouncing back after this until at least six more hours of quiet rest. That puts me into the evening and I can't stay up late to write tonight. I have early commitments in the morning.

I'll do what I can, and reset Sunday.

I did a lot of reading yesterday and a solid amount of gaming. I'm trying to work on catching up on the TBR pile as well as the TBP pile.

Today I get back to writing. I will hopefully do quite a bit of it. I don't have any plans for the evening, so it should be more than doable.

I did a little writing and then got distracted by a shiny new toy for the house. Very excited to play with that more this weekend when I have more time.

But I did write yesterday and that felt great! I do want to write today, but it's my creative day of rest and I really want to honor that and keep myself in check by not pushing, pushing, pushing. So I am going to read and try to relax and maybe get my house figured out.

I'm feeling great about my writing projects, though. Really great. I can't wait to see where they're going next. Once I get through this weekend, I am hoping to be able to solidly focus on my writing stuff more.

I did some words yesterday. Not as many as I dreamed of, by any means, but they were words. Forward motion. That whole thing. I did try to do more, but the family was very good at being a distraction, per usual. I'm already constructing more ways to advocate for myself so that they learn they need to leave me alone when I'm at the computer. Sometimes, I think they believe I'm just "goofing off" and "having fun" and while it is fun to create, it is a deep complicated process.

I didn't get quite as much done yesterday as I wanted to, but that's all right. I did something, and I worked on clearing my head more fully which is a different kind of accomplishment.

Hopefully, I'll get plenty of words in throughout the course of the day today.

Today I am back to writing. I would like to do some more editing as well, but we'll see if I can make time for both. Or rather, if my sanity will allow for both.

The sun is shining. It's cold, but it's gorgeous looking in my windows. It's a nice step.

I finished my editing project! I have more where that came from, but it sure feels awesome to have ONE of many complete.

I didn't do the editing I'd been hoping for yesterday. It's okay. I will be working on it in about 5-10 minutes and getting myself back on track. I got thwarted by kids who needed my computer for homework. That trumps my need to edit at the moment.

I really need another computer. It's on my list of dream things. Hopefully soon, but we have to discuss some other necessities of life in the house first that are more important than a new computer.

I did a lot of editing yesterday! I have around sixteen chapters left in the book which is an awesome feeling to have done. Today, I will be doing more editing and reading and contemplating writing. I want March to be amazing for word out put. I know it's a lot to try to tackle. However, through God's strength, I know I can do all things. That includes writing more words. I have them inside of me. They've been given to me. They are ready to come out, but I need to get out of my own way to make it happen. That's why I need the extra help. I'm not sure how else to word it.

Editing for now, though.

I edited about four chapters yesterday. I'm about to sit down and do some more editing in a moment. I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about the task than I was earlier this week.

Life through me some curveballs yesterday, and for that I'm very annoyed. But I'll try again today. There's always another day, you know what I mean? As long as I make a small bit of progress forward, I'll be super happy in the creative department. My hope is still so strong. I'm not quitting.

Hopefully the life drama will end soon, and then we'll be back to it full time in the creation department.

I did quite a bit of reading while I cleaned my house. My life feels a lot more balanced this morning. Hoping for that feeling to last through the day, as well as through the week. I'll be working at edits on the creative front. Should be a relatively normal day all around.

Yesterday was a day where I sat down and explored my time usage. Again. I organized my life for the week. Again. And planned all of my big dreams for next month. Again.

I've been very in my own head these days, and that has not been fun in the slightest. I'm not sure if it's the weather that's setting me off, or the life stress. Either way, it definitely sucks.

On the plus side: I do feel like certain life stresses are finally moving out of my way. I'm getting there. Slowly, but surely.

Somehow, I have to keep my joy despite everything.

I'm feeling like I need an organization day. So that's what I'm going to do!

I'm going to start an edit-fest. Where I edit the crap out of my book so that all I have to do is get it ready for formatting and then publishing. But I definitely need to edit it.

Other priorities are health and home related.

Editing isn't new words, but it's still very important.

Wednesday is my usual day off, so I took it. I wanted to do more reading, but I ended up watching some TV instead. Not too bad use of my day off time.

I want to say I'm going to jump back into things and be amazing, etc. etc. etc. I can say I'm going to do those things, in fact. Doing them is going to be a different challenge.

It's a challenge I'm willing to accept, though. I am determined to fight harder for my dreams.
