This week was a relief, you guys.

I felt like me. I didn’t get a ton of writing done, but goddamnit, I felt like ME.

And I *did* get shit done this week. I put in my time. I didn’t over-achieve or even try to…I just achieved.

I have a much better, much less anxiety-ridden grasp now on these deliverables I have to take care of for my Story Grid certification.

I had a true moment of clarity with the beginning of my novel.

I got writing done and I didn’t feel like shit about it. To be honest, I didn’t feel overly elated about it either and I mean that in a very, very good way. I mean that I just get normal. Focused. Calm. Me.

Work today was great. I think I can hit my ambitious goal of collecting all the clips I need by the end of next week. We’ll see what the feedback is, of course, but I found a method to gather them that I think works. I worked from home and I accomplished that very well. I even got my writing done first thing.

Then I podcasted with Josh, and it was that FIRE tonight. We’re both just learning so much from this experience. It’s awesome. Great conversation today. Just great.

It’s time for sleeps. I hope you had a good week, too. Good night.
