Just realized my sick child has a field trip tomorrow, so when I tell him he's going to have to miss it (probably) I expect there to be devastation

So far I've:

-- Mopped my floor
-- Cleaned out my winter gear bucket
-- Did a load of laundry

Trying to stay positive so I don't worry about the kiddo.

Hit18k. Goal is to get to 20k before the end of the day. Ideally, I'll go beyond that.

It seems Youngest has the flu. Covid was negative, so this is my educated Mommy guess. Time to keep catching up on things at home. And by things I mean writing. I'll be writing.

Hit 17k in my #nanowrimo project. I'm woefully behind, but I'm breaking for the night. Tomorrow will be a better day. Outlined my next story arch, so I'm feeling a lot better about this project.

Remember self: It's just a first draft. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersofcoso

1200 words down so far. I hope I can keep this steam all week despite the day job getting in the way. #amwriting

I think I'm the only #degrassi nerd on #coso. Or the only one who's tagging it at least.

Okay, #degrassi is on in the background and I've got my timer set. The reward? Playing "Sackboy Adventure" later tonight after I've accomplished some kind of word count. #amwriting

It's only 5pm. It feels like bedtime. I need to keep my head in the game for another hour or two. It's too early for sleep.

What I should be doing? Writing.

What I am doing? Watching "The Crown". 🤷‍♀️

Okay, new plan. I'm going to try to write for an hour and THEN I'll scratch my gaming/reading itch a plenty.

...the kids took my PS5 before I could get there.

Writing is hard. All I want to do is read and play FF12. Which I might do, because maybe once I finish reading my book and beat my game (I'm close to the end of both), I'll be able to concentrate.

I'm already starting to put together my gameplan for 2024. Am I the only one? Does anyone else begin new year goals early?

Setting timers to pomodoro method this book. I don't have the attention span for 25 minutes, though. My timer is 7 minutes long right now. I document my process for accountability. 3k, here we come! One bite at a time!

If I write 3k a day, I will finish #nanowrimo on time. Now I need to find the will power to do this. I have to win. I've been doing this since the beginning and I have a streak to uphold!

Okay #writingcommunity I really want to get into #nanowrimo and win this year. Let's DO THIS.

Well, I've dropped off the face of the planet for a while. Sorry. Work has been sucking up my soul and I just don't have much energy. But I'm going to try.
