Life Log #15

Hello. I hope you are doing well.

It’s nothing too exciting this week, just another life log. I’ve been working on a couple other posts but they’re taking a bit longer than I thought they would have at first, so those will be coming later.

This week has actually been pretty productive for me. I’ve been doing a lot of writing and a bit of outlining. I was actually looking at my progress tracker the other day and thought ‘there is no way I’m going to be able to finish this by the end of the month. I have just under two weeks and about twenty milestones to reach’. The thought of ‘I can’t do this’ persisted. But then this other part of me, the one that survives on spite and malice, said ‘watch me!’ So that was the voice I decided to listen to.

I think I’ve been making pretty good progress. Just today, the 20th when I’m writing this, I’ve written three scenes. So that puts me three milestones closer to my goal. And if I finish this post today, that will be four.

I think I found that by putting things in the perspective of ‘I bet you can’t do all this’ instead of just getting overwhelmed by everything, I can get a lot more done and feel better about it. I still need to be careful that I don’t bite off more than I can chew at one time because I am really bad at that.

I’m hoping that I can continue to get things done because next month I want to do a reading challenge I set out for myself. I also want to pose that challenge to any of you who want to participate and compete against me. I think that would add a level of fun to it. So I want to start that without any outstanding projects. That’s probably my second biggest motivation for this month.

That’s about everything I have to talk about today. And unfortunately, I don’t have a question for you today. So, you know what? What is your weirdest hobby/fascination/fact you learned recently? I would love to know if you’d like to share.

I hope you are having a wonderful day. And if it’s not wonderful, I hope it gets better. Stay safe, and I will see you next time.

-T.R. Flynn.
