I'm doing some editing right now. Seems to be on the only thing I can really focus on these days. Lately, I've been dividing my brain between multiple projects. This month, I'm going to try following the muse and I write on what I write, and shoot for a number for the week to reach. We'll see how this goes.

Did nothing yesterday. Just took the day to myself to chill. I keep obsessing over this idea that I'm not being productive without my high word counts, and I need to get out of that head space. While I want more words a day, I do not need a MILLION of them a day, either. My writing quality has gone on up so much since taking my time with things. I need to embrace THAT more than the quantity. #amwriting

Didn't get much done, but I tried! Today, I'll probably have a zero words day. I'm okay with that, though. We'll be busy.

Got my words in yesterday. I am finding that by not caring too much about massive word counts, I'm caring more about the words I'm using in my work. My writing feels a lot tighter now that I'm not rushing to reach a goal. Just an interesting, personal, observation.

Kind of in a weird mix of emotions. I wrote yesterday, so I'm going to focus on that rather than the negative things in my life.

Time to make like Troy Bolton and get my head in the game. #amwriting

I did a great deal of editing yesterday. Enough to have hopefully scratched the itch. Small goals for the writing day today. We'll see how it all goes.

Got up at 5 am because I couldn't sleep anymore. Did my work out for the day, and now I'm greatly regretting my decision to wake up. But I feel committed to make it to at least noon before taking a nap.

We've reached the:

"We got into a fight over which month is the best one" stage of summer boredom. 🤦‍♀️

There were tears and slamming doors. It's going to be a long day.

I missed checking in yesterday. I just couldn't really will myself to get online during the down moments of my day. Hoping to do some words today. First, need to take care of all the family things.

Didn't get my writeathon in. But I wrote! And outlined. I'm ready! Going to plan my writeathon for another day.

I've got a playdate today for the kiddo, and then after that my plan is to writeathon. Not an epic all day one, but I can still do a solid few hours of working.

I think I might start writing again today. Had a dream about some character development and I'm excited to implement it!

Taking another day off because I'm tired and am going to focus on recovery.

Finished my editing project. Taking today off because it's going to be very busy and very full.

It feels like it should be so much later than it actually is. That's the kind of day I'm having. I'll find a way to channel this for good!

Took the day off to celebrate. Today might involve some words, or it might just be another editing day. We'll see!

Did some editing, and that was it. But I did have a dream that I need to log for a potential future story idea!

I need to be more mindful of logging my health related things. My well check yesterday left me feeling like I'm at least starting down the right path.

I wanted to hit the 180's for my weight by the end of this month. Right now, I will be satisfied with a downward trend. I don't think I can lose 5 pounds in a week and a half in a healthy, sustainable, way.
