Busy, busy Friday. Whew. I was up on time at 7 this morning and was able to get my outline off to my cowriter…hope he likes it. There are still a few things left to fill in. Didn’t quite finish it, but the story is all there. I honestly got much further than I was afraid I would. And there is some stuff in there I can’t wait to write. It’s going to be a good one. Available only by signing up for our email list. I start drafting on Monday, aaaahhhhh.
It’s a big accomplishment. Massive. I’ve never got a story together this fast. It’s five weeks later than I’d initially wanted to—and this book is literally going to be a YEAR later than I’d wanted it to be—but it’s still MONTHS earlier than any book I’ve been able to start since actually figuring out my writing process. So, yeah. Huge.
Then I worked every minute of every hour between 9am and 5pm. I didn’t even stop for lunch. I had a project to get across the finish line, and a toooonnn of stuff in that project that I’ve just never done before. I’ve done things adjacent, but it was a ton of specifics that were a first for me. Lots of YouTube. But…I got something across the line that I think—fingers crossed—is usable. Ready, at least, for notes and direction to get it finalized. Early response seems to be that I was able to do that. I hope so. Definitely outside of my comfort zone on it.
Fed the pups. Walked the pups. Ate dinner and watched last night’s Warriors game because I heard it was a good one, and it was. And here we are. Time for bed. Wiped. A very, very, very busy latter part to the week.
Still feeling…untethered. And it’s because I’m doing lots of stuff for the first time. Not really for the first time, but faster than before. Resistance isn’t keeping up, and so it gives me the untethered feeling because that’s all it has. It’s okay. If I just keep going, this will become the new normal. And that…that will truly be a breakthrough. Another level. I’m ready. Scared, but ready.
Night night.
