Well, that’s another year dead and buried. You’d think after several decades of doing this “living” thing I’d get better at it… but each year still blurs by at the speed of light and I am still here, bewildered and confused, just trying to muddle through.
That stated, I’ve made really encouraging progress on the novel in the last week with the time I’ve had available. That’s a very good sign. At the pace I’m going the first draft should be done if a few weeks (although, admittedly, I have said that a few times before). I’m getting up earlier to exercise these days… I can probably get into the habit of writing a bit after I finish my workouts. We’ll see what the class workload is like, of course, but until my courses officially start, I at least have a bit of time to work with.
Anyway, all this to say that the year is off to a relatively promising start, despite the doom-and-gloom of most of my life. There is a glimmer of hope, at least, and that’s a nice change of pace!
Here’s hoping everyone out there is staying safe and healthy, and does so for the entire year!
