November in Review
Where did that month even go? Is there maybe a little more November here hiding somewhere that I missed? No? I worked a lot in November and did some traveling too, but I still managed to do some writing. I didn't write as much or as often as I had hoped. I think it is … Continue reading November in Review
Mystery Prompt 16: Personal Development
Reflect on your personal development goals. What skills or knowledge do you want to acquire? I really want to stretch myself in the coming year, especially when it comes to trying things I am afraid of and challenging my self-doubt. My confidence took a hit in the first half of this year, but I am … Continue reading Mystery Prompt 16: Personal Development
November Writing
For many years, I attempted and failed NaNoWriMo. I am happy to say that I am back at it this year, even though the organization behind that event has gone belly up, and this year is looking more promising. I had originally thought I would write flash fiction every day this month, but last night … Continue reading November Writing
October Experiment: Language Learning
Image by Tessa Kavanagh from Pixabay Welcome to October! This month I am going to study Spanish every day. I was on the fence about what language I wanted to tackle up to the very last moment. In fact, as I am typing this, part of me wants to go back and change "Spanish" to … Continue reading October Experiment: Language Learning
September Experiment Review
Pointless Eye Candy to Dress Up The Post I let ChatGPT set my weekday schedule for September, and it wasn't a disaster. I was more productive and a lot more intentional about my time. Even when I didn't stick to the schedule, knowing that I had one made me think more carefully about how I … Continue reading September Experiment Review
Experiment: The Week in Review/This Week
This week was a mixed bag. I did better at sticking to my daily schedules, but I obviously didn't keep up with the blogging. I did, however, create a digital product and put it up for sale. It's basically a 12-page coloring book of hand-drawn line art. No AI in sight there, just my homemade … Continue reading Experiment: The Week in Review/This Week
Day 5 Review, The Weekend, Next Week
My cold was somehow worse on Friday, but I did accomplish some things on my schedule anyway. One thing I have learned from this experiment is that it is hard to stick to any kind of schedule when you're home with family members who have different ideas and priorities. The sheer chaos of family life … Continue reading Day 5 Review, The Weekend, Next Week
Days 3 & 4
Day 3 was productive, but not in the way I had anticipated. I ended up having a therapy appointment that was rescheduled at the request of my therapist and a dental appointment in the afternoon. I was surprised to get a same-day appointment with the dentist, but I am glad I got that taken care … Continue reading Days 3 & 4
Day 2. Two Stars.
Today was fubar. I barely slept last night, and the kid stayed home sick for the first part of the day. By the time I got him to school, I was already dragging. Errands ate up the rest of the morning. By the time I went to Dollar Tree and Walmart, what should have been … Continue reading Day 2. Two Stars.
