What I did today: I woke up this morning after only four-ish hours of sleep last night. It’s been nearly a week since I’ve done that and it felt good to be back in my routine. I was able to do most of my writing projects early before the household stirred and it got noisy. I tackled my to-read list from the numerous challenges and bloghops that I belong to. I didn’t complete the list, but I did whittle away a huge chunk of it. I’ve yet to tackle the growing emails though. I am feeling tons better, not yet 100% but definitely better. My energy has returned.
What I learned today: If I am ever to complete the new poems I want to get written this year for a chapbook, then I must schedule the time for them. Yes, it has come down to that, because otherwise, I will just continue to procrastinate, dream, and do anything and everything besides write these poems. So I have scheduled two days a week for the remainder of the year to write them. Now I just need a theme.
What I am most proud of today: I am proud that I have taken the initiative to conquer my dream of a chapbook by the year’s end. No more excuses.
What did you do today? Learn any lessons? Have a reason to be proud? Share your thoughts with me in the comments!
As the Fates Would Have It 
Lookin’ forward to hearing about that chapbook!
Thanks, Calen 🙂 it should be around 60 poems.. I want to write around 90-100 though so I will have some choices… still trying to decide on a theme.. probably something along the lines of lost love ..then beginning next January, I will submit some of the poems around and by next June, if all goes well, I will either enter it into a chapbook competition or self-publish it.
