This was a messy week full of dark moments and light moments and numb moments and I-need-some-rum moments. Mostly this week, I just felt tired. Exhausted. Spent.

2021 November – Week 45
I was feeling a little down this week. I’d been so excited for NaNoWriMo this year because I love the writing community it fosters, and I was antsy to dive into the new story I’ve been kicking around in my head. But it’s been a slog. I’ve had a hard time forcing myself to sit…

I don’t feel like Week 46 was real. Hmm… maybe that’s not accurate. It’s more like it didn’t exist. I can’t believe it was a whole seven days. I also can’t believe it wasn’t a whole seven years. NaNoWriMo has me nice and distracted, though… Sunday Aung: “This year suck. I never get to see…
2020 October – Week 44
