S3: Day 112 (343)
Apr. 22nd, 2025 07:36 amI took all of yesterday off so I could focus on my friend. No big deal. I still need to train my brain to stop looking at it as losing a day of work, and remembering the goal isn't a quantifiable count.
Taking a day off was good.
Getting back into creating today is feeling like a challenge. It'll get easier if I stop overwhelming myself, I think. Just breathe, and all that.
Sometimes my brain is my own worst enemy.

S3: Day 111 (342)
Apr. 21st, 2025 06:46 amToday is going to be another busy day for me. I'm spending some time with a friend, and then from there I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Ideally, I will create SOMETHING. It might be a small something, but it will be something, and I'm looking forward to the moment.
I do need to get back to reading, though. Look at all of those books!

S3: Day 109 (340)
Apr. 19th, 2025 08:02 amI finished my current editing project and that puts me ahead of my goals for that area of my life. Going to slow that part down, so I can focus on words easier.
In general, I'm feeling good about where I'm at. I have an extra day off of work this weekend, so that already has me entering today in a great mood!
The sun is shining. I'm ready to create!

S3: Day 108 (839)
Apr. 18th, 2025 07:33 amI've got a lot of activities to occupy myself with. I'm still working, though!
I finished editing a novella yesterday. Today I will edit a short, and ideally add some words onto my projects. Next week, I have one official write-a-thon scheduled, and one potential extra one scheduled if my plans end up getting cancelled.
This weekend will be busy with the family. Somehow I'm going to attempt creation despite all of that.

S3: Day 107 (838)
Apr. 17th, 2025 07:21 amWe're all pretty tired in the house today. I have a feeling it is going to be a low key creation kind of day. And that's fine. It's supposedly going to start raining tonight, and I'd like to sit in and relax as much as possible.
I do plan on editing today. I'm not sure if I'll add new words to my projects or not just yet. Whatever I end up doing, I'm not going to push myself out of my comfort zones too hard. I'm hoping to do most of my creating tomorrow or Saturday.

S3: Day 106 (837)
Apr. 16th, 2025 04:42 pmToday is going to be a day for minimal work. I'm sorting through some pain and some life things. The good? I've got hopefully doable game plan for my projects. I've said it before, of course. I'll probably say it again. However, I'm always fine tweaking my plans to meet my ultimate mental health goals as well as my publishing goals. This next plan is definitely up there with creating the balance I need.
Every day it gets better.

S3: Day 105 (836)
Apr. 15th, 2025 06:53 amI finished my game yesterday. I wrote a handful of words. I feel pretty okay with everything. Today, I'd like to accomplish a small amount more, but we'll see.
Today things might be tougher.

S3: Day 104 (835)
Apr. 14th, 2025 07:05 amI organized my life yesterday. I feel set up for this week. I'm hoping to do some more organizing today as well as get back to creating in some way shape or form. I feel slow and tired today, so it will probably be small amounts of progress. Small parts are still awesome. I need to remember that.

Apr. 13th, 2025 05:48 pmTook yesterday off too for the most part. I was in a good place, and I wanted to embrace that. Tomorrow, I'm for sure going to begin anew and get busy.
Right now I feel calm and hopeful and that feels like something I should hold onto while I have it.

S3: Day 101 (832)
Apr. 11th, 2025 07:28 amI did some editing, and today will probably be more of that as I sort through some pain issues. I'm hoping to get back to writing new words on Sunday, as it felt so good to write when I was writing. My focus just isn't there at the moment, and I need to work in a non-sitting position today.

S3: Day 100 (831)
Apr. 10th, 2025 07:21 amI did some editing and then I focused on physical health needs for the bulk of the day. I'm backing off a little so I don't accidentally jump the gun, however, I do also feel really good about where I am so far in terms of my creativity. I'm 100 days into the year and I've done so much editing, I've started writing again, and things do feel possible.
But I do need to remember my plan for THIS year. Next year is going to be a different ball game. I'm excited to see my plans unfurl, I just need to make sure I do it all correctly so I'm not a;lskdfjalksjdf later on.

S3: Day 99 (830)
Apr. 9th, 2025 07:22 amI did a small amount of editing yesterday. For the most part, I focused on physical health and mental health rather than creative health.
I realized, I'm back to working toward ALL THE GOALS and I forgetting about my mission statement for the year. I'm drowning in the words I want to be writing and losing my joy in the process.
It'll all come together. It will. I just need to go back to this first step and keep it to simpler tasks rather than aiming for ___ amount of words in a day.
So we'll start again today.

S3: Day 98 (829)
Apr. 8th, 2025 07:26 amI did all the editing yesterday. I said I was only going to do a handful of chapters and instead read the whole book. Editing was pretty minor so it was easy to do on my phone and that helped a lot. I'm not always able to work on my computer for various reasons.
Today, I'd like to do some words. Like to, but we'll see how much I can function mentally after the day job gets out. That's always the mystery factor. As long as I'm enjoying myself, that's the most important part. I have to keep reminding myself of that. Everything else will fall together.

Apr. 7th, 2025 03:21 pmI wrote words yesterday. Today I'm debating if I want to write words or just stick to editing. It's been a bit of a long day for me mentally. Either way, I'm content.

Apr. 6th, 2025 09:28 amI didn't do as much writing as I wanted to yesterday, but I'm hoping to do more today. I did my minimum and it felt great. Today is going to be a great day too. I can already tell. I just need to make sure my body doesn't try to get me to rage quit. It's been doing some weird things this week, so I need to fix that.

Apr. 5th, 2025 08:02 amI ended up taking yesterday off to be with a friend. Today I will be diving deep into my projects, and I'm very excited to do that. I feel like my book might actually be finishable this month if I keep pushing forward and focusing on going from point to point in my plot.

Apr. 4th, 2025 08:25 amI did words yesterday even though it felt hard.
Today might feel easier, but I have other things I want to do too and they might distract me. Hopefully, I can fight it off until at least 8pm.
