✔️ Drop off milk for swim team breakfast.
- Lunch with mom.
- Church.
✔️ Write words.
- Watch at least one Oscar nom movie.

Making good progress so far today. We'll see how long it all lasts. I've got a few hours until my lunch date. I think trying to write until then is a great plan for the day.

I just need to decide what movie I want to watch tonight. I'm leaning toward "Killers of the Flower Moon".

My universe I've created for my book is so big with so many side characters, I can't fit them all into my main narration.

So I'm writing a companion piece called "Asides" which is going to be random character development interactions that don't really advance the plot or distract from the plot. They'll probably be cozy experiences too.

I've never been one to do what's considered normal with my writing. I just know that I need to write what's in my head.

I closed out my night twitching my game for a few hours. Something about computers and phones triggers my headaches. I'm assuming it's blue light. I do have glasses for that. Some days are worse than others.

Today is going to be a randomly busy day. I feel in control of the day at least, and that says a lot.

List for accountability:

- Drop off milk for swim team breakfast.
- Lunch with mom.
- Church.
- Write words.
- Watch at least one Oscar nom movie.

Woke up from my brain break with a mild migraine. Glad I no longer have to cook dinner.

How it's going.

👍 Day job.
- TAKE A SHOWER.
👍 Grocery order away.
- Do SOMETHING creative.
- Make dinner.
- Bingo night at the school with the kids.
- Read.

I'm going to take a brain break in my bed. Then I'll get back to the rest of it after I'm up. I'll try to break my napping habit next week. I can only do one thing at a time.

On that note.... Here is my agenda for Friday.

- Day job.
- TAKE A SHOWER.
- Grocery order away.
- Do SOMETHING creative.
- Make dinner.
- Bingo night at the school with the kids.
- Read.

I need to do better with holding myself accountable. The. End.

My word for the year is Discipline. I want to create a better and more productive routine. It will take hard work and consistency. Just like it takes those things to break bad habits.

I'm going to be annoying, because I need community to help me stay strong. I need to report my progress. I need encouragement. I don't expect it, but if I report in, I will feel like someone is listening. Even if they aren't. 😆 Sorry in advance.

Sharing for a friend!

Three formats, five stars on Amazon, two exceedingly relatable, likable MCs, one cute kid, two cats, one of which is a kitten, one award, three nominations, one sweet, heartfelt love story.

2pm check in. I've finished editing my book. It is now ready for Wattpad! I've added about 900 words to another document. Most importantly, I've stayed awake. #writingcommunity #amwriting #accountability

I had plans for today to be a big writing day. I went to bed all set for it! Woke up feeling like "meh". I can think of a million other things to do besides write. I will be ignoring those things and screening my calls this afternoon. I'm going to make some magic happen. #writingcommunity #accountability

I've edited THREE chapters so far. THREE. And it's only noon! #writingcommunity #amwriting

After having RSV all week, I finally feel human enough to get back into creating my things. So that's what I'm doing today. I've updated the blog, and now I'm going into the editing cave. #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity

That moment my brain wants to write but the rest of my body says "Hard pass". I didn't intend on taking today off, but I think I need to listen to my body. Regroup some more, and then make another attempt tomorrow. I'm still adjusting to day job taking my energy again. #amwriting #writing

I don't want to go back to the day job tomorrow. I just want to stay home and write all day. :(

Happy New Year! I feel like garbage today, but I am determined to have a good day despite all of that.

I just need to stay awake.

Watching the #supermariomovie and the most inaccurate part is how long that star power up lasts. Like...come on. 🙄

One of my goals for 2024 is to be more active on social media. Not because I want to build a platform or have attention, but because I want to connect more with my people. I need the support of my #writingcommunity

Today, I'm writing on client projects. As soon as this is wrapped up, I can think more clearly about MY projects. #ghostwriting

Once again, I've had a dream that has inspired another new project. I love them, but I'm so frustrated at the same time because I need to write some of these projects and I can't keep up!

I finished NaNoWriMo this year. I did it last night, actually. I still have a lot of writing to do, though. My heart is wanting, but my brain is quite sleepy. That's what coffee is for, right?
