My Journey to Become a Writer 10/09/2024 Post #283

I’m wishing I’d gotten this done earlier in the day.

It’s 10:15 p.m. now.

There’s a combine crawling through the corn outside.

My view will be much different tomorrow morning.

The corn stalks have been shrinking fast. A depressing sight, and yet, it indicates the harvest – which is what the farmers hope for.

Seeing the bean cart hum along with the combine reminds me of dragonflies doubling up. Dust is in the air, which makes my mind go back to my Uncle Danny. He did love to farm. I can’t forget the night a woman hit his grain semi a couple of hours or so after I’d been riding along with him in his combine. I’m grateful he survived that, but feel wistful that he’s gone.

Anyhow – this season is something special and bittersweet.

What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

I did Day 283 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab and mostly did some planning. I’m trying to restructure my website – which was a little on the floppy side, and figure out how to structure this as a business. I’m also attempting to slow my pace, since my heart is still skipping beats (which makes me feel pretty blah…).

My Content Management Strategies to Create and Schedule Manuscripts and Posts

 Well – other than this, I’m not posting much, but my mind is still spinning, and I hope that soon I’ll be churning out some actual content – even if it’s slow.

Thanks for reading what I’m writing,

The post down below from 99 days ago talks about trying to find a place to record – I’ve since bought a soundproof booth. And it talks about cringing over creating an email list – the one I finally made just came into being this past week. I guess that’s progress…

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.
