My Journey to Become a Writer 07/29/2024 Post #211

Oh wow. I’m tired.

I meant to scale back, but things keep coming up.

Instead of shrinking back my schedule, I keep needing to make cuts on my word count, which takes a lot of time.

What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

I did Day 211 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab and started reworking a story that’s due tomorrow, only to realize it was way too long. I was also told a piece that I submitted is going to be published, but that it, too, needs to be chopped. I’m tired, and this feels a bit insurmountable. I guess it’s back to the drawing board tomorrow.

My Current Home Management Strategies to Help Stay Organized as a Writer

I like to make Mondays the day for getting my house in order. It’s already 7:45 P.M., so I’m not going into details tonight, but I do have a clean bathroom, clean sheets on the bed, and a meal plan for the next couple of days, so no matter how far I feel behind on writing, I’m thankful for that little bit of order in my life.

Thanks for reading what I’m writing,

In the post down below from 99 days ago, I mentioned minutia. Maybe that’s the majority of these posts, but I’m trying to make the daily discipline of having a deadline part of my plan to grow as a writer.

I'm not sure what to say here: I once got second place in a dog-look-alike-contest? I know how to fold a fitted sheet? I'm pretty much a poster child for social backwardness - at least as far as social media is concerned; but I have some stories I think I'm supposed to share and am attempting to do that here, in this space.
