It's Read-A-Thon day! This is one of my favorite holidays. Yes, I consider Dewey's Read-A-Thon a holiday! It's always a great way to step away from the world for a bit, and I love doing it as a community with other people who are like me.

Lately, I've been doing a lot of pondering over personal identity and how I feel like there are versions of me floating around. All of them chunks of who I am, but none of them a full picture. How it's exhausting for me to be a version but hide the rest. There are only a handful of people I can be my full self with.

Anyway, I'm celebrating by reading and I'll hopefully get through at least three books today. I've got one audiobook, one manga, and one print novel that I would like to finish. Ideally, I'll do even more.

Camp NaNo Stats: 2538

I wrote a little bit. I'm feeling less stuck. Now I need to find the energy to do the task of writing.

It's the first day of Camp NaNo! This is an annual event that happens twice a year. April and July. I don't get as involved in Camp NaNo as I do in NaNoWriMo (November), but I decided to give it a go this April because I need help getting back on the horse. My goal is very small. The point is to write every day more so than to get large amounts of words onto the page.

Lately, I've been doing some kind of work every day on my creative projects and adventures. That might be editing, formatting, outlining, etc. But that's not the same as actually writing. I want to write. Today I am stuck at my parents' house watching the dog, and by stuck I mean there was a huge dump of snow keeping us indoors. Naturally, there won't be a whole lot for us to do, so that makes for a great recipe for writing.

But I do also have books to read, so I'll be dividing my time amongst the two.
