What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

I did Day 191 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab and worked most of the day on my manuscript for my mom. I was hoping to turn it over to the graphic designer today, but have run into too many technicalities – plus some parts are just painfully raw – especially sorting through pictures from her passing away.

I met with a writing group and exchanged edits with a partner, who wrote professionally for magazines before retirement. It was nice to hear more of her story and get advice for making writing a career.

I spoke with people on setting up an appointment to use a sound booth, so I can record some audiobooks, poems and short stories.
