(personal/writing/health) Today is the day.

Today is the day I go back to work full-time.  So naturally, today is the day I wake up with a screaming headache.  Of course.  I have taken tylenol and I have both water and tea next to me.  I’m hoping that takes care of it.  I’m also dealing with a stuffed nose, so this …

(health/personal/writing) One week in!

Today is Day 7 of  going completely gluten-free and mostly sugar-free.  It’s been an interesting journey.  Weighed in this morning at 277.8 lbs, so up a little, but that’s okay.   It’s been hard, I won’t lie.  Drank Coke on Saturday, had sushi with non-GF soy sauce on Tuesday, and an ice cream cone on …

(writing) Leveled up! Day 25 is in the books

Yesterday, I hit Level 3 in the Magic Spreadsheet.  This means that my new word count goal for the day is 350 words, and that I am chugging along.  The first Pendragon novella is at a little over 14k, and is coming along nicely. I’m thinking it will probably top out at 25k, which is …

(personal/writing/cooking) We made it back to work!

Started back at work yesterday (part-time, for the next two weeks) and am not falling over exhausted today.  Counting that as a win!  I go in today and tomorrow for 4 hours each, then am off until Tuesday, when we start again.   I think the fact that I’m eating cleaner (we’ve adopted a Paleo …

(writing) We’ve crossed the 40k mark

That’s right.  In 2013 so far, I have written over 40,000 words.   That’s amazing.  That’s almost a NaNo novel.  It might be more than I wrote in total last year.  And it’s only halfway through May.  I’m seriously impressed.   And the big thing is that I’m doing it steadily, a little at a …

(personal/writing) Getting back into the swing of things

I’ve been writing again.  In fact, my new streak is at 8 days and counting.  It feels good to write again, like I’ve found the right thing that I need to be doing.   I used to wish I was one of those authors who could have two or more projects going at once, because …

(writing/personal) The doctors’ appointments are done.

I’ve seen the last one today, and gotten the okay for my treatment plan.  Now, it’s just a matter of time, and healing.   Healing in more than just sleeping and eating right.  Healing in accepting that I can’t do everything.  That I’m not 22 years old and invincible.  That I can live with no …
