Restart

Ok, as usual I fell off the challenge wagon. Leave it to me to be too busy, stressed, lazy, anxious, preoccupied, you name it to follow through with seven days of challenges. Welp, it is a new year! I'm back! Starting January 7th I'm restarting the entire challenge. I'll be adding the two challenges I completed back into the mix and we're going to give it another go. This challenge challenge is important to me and I'm determined to make it stick. 

 Happy New Year!

So sometimes a fire would break out and you had to put the fire out before it burned down your city. Time and time again when my city suffered immense damage, I'd send out a...

There is one challenge that is get up at 5:30am every day and write. It will be interesting to see how the two challenges compare. So far I've done it, but I have done at least 75% of writing for my side jobs and other people. 25% is personal writing.  It is easy to make excuses. Even for a self-made, self-accountable challenge of challenges like this. I returned from Thanksgiving in Virginia on Monday afternoon. I did sit down and get some writing done, but my evening was cut short when I had a friend ask to stay with me for a few days. They were in between housing situations and needed a place to sleep until their new lease started. Not wanting my friend to be homeless, I obliged. But for someone who lives alone and who has lived alone for the better part of 9 years, getting used to another human in my li...
