So, I’m “two days” and six pages behind on my novel. Writing didn’t happen today. It just didn’t. I didn’t make the time. I didn’t have the time, to be honest. Too much puppy time, too much apartment time, and too much working time (on a weekend, I know!). But, you guys…it’s okay. I’m not going to let it get out of hand. Really. I’m not.
Tomorrow will have to be another day of just a normal 3 pages…but I can make up at LEAST one day, 3 pages, over the next two work days. I can also make up the other three pages on Thursday, or over the weekend. The focus, as it always is, is just to keep at it. 3 pages tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. Extra is extra. The core of this entire system is NOT in making up “lost” time…it’s focusing on the present and just 3 pages a day.
It’s definitely challenging, you guys. I am so. Fucking. Busy. So much. But, I’m surprisingly not freaking out. And I seem to be getting my rest, too. I got an hour nap today with the bear. She’s in her office right now listening to Queen and doing sticker stuff, I think. It’s the eve of a special birthday for her. I actually have something to give her if I can convince her to come back into the bedroom 😛 But I also know that she’s in the zone right now, and she likes to power through late into the night sometimes. And that’s legit. What I have to give her can absolutely wait until the morning times. We’ll see what happens.
We went down to Newport Beach today for a Shih Tzu meetup. It’s actually been a minute since we’ve gone to one. I think. It’s the Instagram community that we’ve come to love and enjoy. All these other Shih Tzus that live in the LA area, and we all try to get together every now and then. Take photos. Meet each others’ dogs. See, cuz people are weird…but dogs are dogs. They’re always the same, basically. Both Coops and Coco were so CHILL today at the meetup. Usually Coops is running around trying to get treats from everyone. But not today. He just wanted to hang out in the shade. There was even a golden retriever there today he wanted nothing to do with. I was very proud of him.
Anywho…it’s already 1am and it’s time for the sleeps. I’ll see if I can get the Ho to come back here…wish me luck.
