My Agenda:

- Do some writing before the day job.
- Work the day job.
- Take a shower and a nap.
- Get the kiddo to his church group.
- Squeeze more words in between as many of those things as I can.
- Eventually wash out my Instapot.

S2: Day 122 (487)
Word Count: 788
Total: 42492

I started #writing on a fluff scene and it ended up becoming a piece of the bigger plot. Which is good. I was worried about wasting space.

Note to self: Take a more current picture of myself for my profile pic. The one I'm using is 20 years old and 70 pounds lighter. Don't judge me too much, it was the only one I have on my computer without a child in it. 😆

Something I was doing on Twitter was sharing my #writing stats. It's something that started on my blog until it got to be too tedious in blog form. Time to move that to my account here.

Here's how it works.

S2: Season 2, this is my second year of keeping track of my stats.

Day 121: Current day.

(486): Total number of days.

Word Count: Daily words.
Total: Total for the year.

And so...

S2: Day 121 (486)
Word Count: 0
Total: 14100

It was readathon yesterday, so I did 0 words.

Okay #writingcommunity. The timers are set. I have my goals for May. It's time to get to work. I'm determined to turn my #writing life around.

Feeling sort of better after some solid sleep. Sort of.

My Sunday agenda is the following:

- Close out my readathoning until lunch.
- Have lunch with the family.
- Get hubby to the airport.
- Write my little heart out while eating mac and cheese.

Going to curl up with a book (or five) and cheese curls. I might check in again tonight. I might not.

Feeling fried from too much peopling.

And I've got more to do tomorrow too.

Today is readathon through Dewey's Readathon at http://www.24hourreadathon.com

So that's what I'm doing today. I'm through two manga volumes. Moving to a traditional novel next.

What have I been up to while the site was down?

I read three graphic novels, wrote about 4k words, worked the day job, and contemplated the world I live in.

So...pretty successful time.

I think today is the first day in a long time where I wrote words and didn't loathe every single one of them.

My brain says make a taco salad. My heart says make a burrito.

The heart usually wins this argument.

Stalled at 1667 words for the day. I'd love to squeak out another 1300+.

Sometimes I "nap" because it's the only time I can plot in a quiet place and people will leave me alone. #authorconfessions

1000 words in for the day. I suppose I should eat lunch. Second Breakfast isn't quite tying me over.

Anyone else afraid to hit refresh for fear they'll lose the site again?

I didn't do those 910 words. I ended up rage quitting last night. Hopefully today is less grumpifying and I can get something productive done since I'm home all day again.

Good morning to all of my new friends! Last night was rough, but I woke up feeling refreshed this morning.

I've still got a sick kiddo today. He's right on that border of "could go" "shouldn't go", so even though it frustrates the day job, I'm keeping him home for that extra rest and because it's better to not infect a classroom of kids with a cold in the middle of a pandemic. Or so I'm told. We shouldn't be doing that regardless, but...ya know.

Yes, we've tested for Covid.

I'm supposed to write 910 more words to meet my goal for the night. I think I need to do this off of the computer, though. There are too many distractions and they're giving me too many feels.

I'll let you all know if I succeed when I return in the morning!

Ever get that feeling that you're so desperate to find "your people" that you feel silly/stupid and go about it in all the wrong ways? Just me? Sigh.
