I went to another funeral today, and the funeral home director greeted me by my first name.

I felt a weight of grief pressing down on me for most of the rest of the day. Thankfully, God’s mercies are new every morning.
What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?
I did Day 226 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab and attended a writing group. I also read a piece a fellow writer has wrote and offered feedback, then did a Zoom call with another writer. We have been talking about our mutual struggles with story structure – and laughing a lot.
My Office Management Strategy to Cut Down on Distractions as a Writer
Today I made major progress towards organizing my email “file cabinet”. My goal is to have an empty inbox every day, and that’s starting to happen more often than not. I still have a slush pile I’m sorting through slowly but surely, but I think I’ve nearly got that clear (at least on my main account). This makes life so much less stressful.
Thanks for reading what I’m writing,
Jody Susan
