2020-03-30 Balance and Flow
When you put in the work, sometimes it sucks. But man oh man does it feel good when you’re close to the finish line. That’s how I’m finally feeling today after putting myself in a box for the last three days. Not only did I need to crank out some pages for my MFA thesis…

2020-03-26 Climbing the Pyramid is a Struggle
My basic needs are being met, and I’m grateful for that. By Maslow’s standards, I’m probably at Safety and while that’s ok, I’m desperate to go higher. But I’m stuck. So many of my writer friends and acquaintances are writing their hearts out right now. Amid this crisis people are inspired to create. In times…

2020-03-25 My Plan to Go Rogue
I’ve just written three sentences and backspaced them. I don’t think I have it in me today. It’s that little voice inside that says “go rogue”. I’m on the hook for more work and never has there been as much other stuff going on. I don’t want to get myself all bunched up like last…

2020-03-24 Turning My Frown Upside-Down
I don’t have anything positive to say today it seems.

Most of this has roots in the current state of the world and the Pandemic. And frankly…

2020-03-22 Super-Sized Sunday Status
It’s Sunday again and I really need to get some steps to boost my stats and get my heart going. Plus, I’ve got a lot to say today so this could get long. Imma start with school. Yesterday I had a two hour phone conversation with my assigned mentor for the semester and though it…

2020-03-20 Best Laid Plans 🤷♀️
Today I’m going to try… really try to get through the last third of my manuscript and revise those pages based on feedback from my mentor. I have a call with him tomorrow. *** I literally wrote that opening sentence 7 hours ago. I was called away by other duties as assigned and now it’s…

2020-03-19 All Roads Lead to Madness
I’ve been awake since 5 am after sleeping less than 6 hours. I’d like to let my brain wander around for a while on things that are not pandemic related, but it’s a challenge. I have six hours of work meetings today and that’s something I might typically groan about but my outlook on it…
