So I'm starting this year with a whimper rather than a bang. I'm not sure I want to rehash the terrible of 2018. but I've been away for what feels like ever. Updating my journal or writing, unfortunately, just felt like one more stressor to add to my already frayed self. 2019 didn't start much better than 2018 ended so I'm just going to dive in and ignore the emotional baggage for the time being.
I purchased a new lappy 3000 that looks shiny and new, but I need to download Office so I can attempt to start writing again. Signed up for
getyourwordsout and as of my first official check in I've written zero days (but I have hopes for this month and I will continue to try to be hopeful). I just need to focus and write for at least 120 days this year. I'm not concerning myself with a word count, but I do know which stories I intend to focus on.
I made the mistake of starting "The Joy of Tiding Up" which is making my itch to clean out pretty much everything (but I need to finish the book first) and the smarter choice of "De-Stressing Your Brain" which I'm not deep enough into to hazard if it's working or not. I turned to nesting last year to help calm my brain and distract me from all the chaos going on in there. It helped to a degree so I'm continuing on with it into 2019.
I'm also going to attempt a handwritten journal. If it turns out as cute as the tutorials on YouTube I'll share some pictures of it on here. That's all for now and if any of you are still around I hope this note finds you well and happy.
There needs to be more happy in the world. *hugs*
