Well, my writing has slowed down a little, and that’s frustrating. Again, trying to be kind with myself over this, since these aren’t exactly ideal conditions, but still frustrated.
Ah, the human condition. Truly a marvel.
But, with that stated, I am still progressing! Which is important. And still finding time to do stuff I enjoy (writing, painting), exercise (walking, mostly, at this point), and doing my best to maintain healthy emotional and physical habits (no more junk food, for example, and I’ve certainly eaten way less take-out than I have been in the last year).
Which is all good… but still, I’m frustrated by the speed at which I write.
Oh well! It’ll get done when it’s done.
In more optimistic news, I have continued onto the second round for a grant for the writers group I organize and run, and that’s great news! It’s actually better news for the people near me than it is specifically for me: the funds, if I manage to land them, are all earmarked for people who I respect and think could use the extra scratch: $500 for an artist friend of mine to design some promotional material, $500 for a cafe owner friend to secure space and beverages, and the last $500 for other members of the group to access editing and submission help. It would be great to have the money just to help out everyone else!
But I’m still not assured to get it, so I’m holding off being too excited about it just yet. But it’s nice to hear that I passed the first stage! Go team!
Right. Time to get back to writing.
