My Journey to Become a Writer 09/26/2024 Post #270

I’m still listening to Cal Newport’s “Digital Minimalism” book. I took Instagram and Facebook off my phone for now, and I have to say, I don’t miss them. The idea of logging on right now from my laptop makes me think, “Nah – I don’t really want to look right now.”

What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

I did Day 270 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab and didn’t write another word after that. I took most of the day off to run errands with a friend. Setting flowers on my front porch made me smile. Then it was back to QuickBooks after that. I finally finished reconciling my accounts – something that has weighed super-heavy on me for the last seven-ish months. I’ve still got a pretty long list of things to ask my accountant about, but I’m feeling much better.

Research & Development I’m Doing to Improve My Writing & Business Strategy

Well, I made two appointments for the next few days to look into letting somebody else design my website. Letting go of that is going to be hard, but hanging onto full responsibility has really hampered my writing…

Thanks for reading what I’m writing,

The post down below from 99 days ago is interesting in the fact that I had a sudden surge of social media interest – having listened to Cal Newport, I’m thinking that’s strategic on the part of Instagram…

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.
