It has now been a full month of self-isolation. I have written about 36k words (not including short stories, blog posts, or course work), I’m submitting a short story to market this week as well as having another novel available on Amazon in the next few days.
All in all? It’s been a pretty good month! To say nothing about walking more, exercising more, eating better, eating out less (that’s a little sad, really, but still healthier!)… if I could just see my friends, this would be my best life, no question.
As it is, I know this is going to end someday. Not soon, probably not for at least another month or three, but it will end. And that’s a little terrifying and sad, but all I can do is focus on today. Writing as much as I can, being kind to myself about my pace (about 1k words a day is okay! It’s not as fast as I want, but it’s okay!), and just keeping my eyes on the goal of eventually, EVENTUALLY becoming a full-time writer.
Just gotta do the reps, ya know? You know.
Anyway! Happy with how the podcast yesterday turned out, happy with how the editing for the final draft of Marshal Morcos is coming along! All the small things coming together!
Hope everyone is staying safe!
