Wednesday

So today is a new day right? And I am going to approach it as such. It’s lovely outside, I had a half decent sleep, and a friend is coming to visit me today. Time to just chill out for a bit and set the stress to one side as much as I can.
Which will [...]

The weekend

I feel like I’m making very little writing progress. On the novella anyway, and my monthly goals. I don’t even want to look at them right now lol but I know I will.
What I have been doing is house stuff: I played locksmith and changed the locks on our new home, and we purchased and [...]

A great day

So, everything went well with the bank – wooo, home-ownership here we come. I don’t think it’ll really feel real until we can go ahead with it all, which has to wait for my Dad’s separation agreement to be finalized, so maybe another month or so, but still YAY!
Yesterday was a good day for other [...]

Scary day

Not in the ‘eeek’ hide-under-the-covers kind of way, but in that gee-i’ve-never-done-this-before-and-wow-a-mortgage-is-a-big-thing-to-take-on kind of way.
And in the man-I-hope-they-approve-this way as well.
We meet with the bank lady at 1pm, so thats four and a half hours away. I think I might be a ball of nerves the entire time. I’m even going to wear shoes, see, [...]

Late post

Sanity

I feel soooo good today. Despite lack of sleep with this early growth spurt Lauren seems to be having.
Yesterday was bliss. Everything is back to normal and I love it. Ivy slept in til 7am yesterday morning, she loved going back to preschool in the afternoon and I got to chill out at home with [...]

Slowing down

But hopefully speeding back up again today.
I only managed about 300 words yesterday, and those only because I told myself it was better to do something than nothing at all. And it was, it felt good and I wished I’d found the time to get into it a little earlier. I did get a couple [...]

Jan 3rd – and one day, I’ll find some better titles

I’m just not feeling up to titles right now. I don’t know why. Just not. Perhaps all my energy is being directed elsewhere and when it comes down to it, the titles aren’t all that important.
I wrote another 1.3K ish yesterday, MN is now sitting at just over 3,000 words. I feel like I am [...]

Jan 2nd

The new version of MN is working beautifully. I just love the slight change in direction, it’s a lot more fun to write and I am right into it. I managed ~1750 words yesterday which was awesome. Well on track for getting this novella finished this month.
And I’m even writing in chapters. For the first [...]

Jan 1st

Well, it went reasonably well. Though I’ve learned my lesson and I’ll not be leaving my writing until the evening to get done – I just don’t think it’s going to work that well if I do
I’d wanted to get through about 1000 words on Mocha Nihilism. I managed 738. Definitely better than [...]
