I've passed 20k words in my current writing project. This is particularly interesting to me as the last long-form thing I wrote was 61k words, more or less, and the project I'm working on now hasn't even reached a third of the story yet.
This week we really entered into the mire of "what have I to show you" because it's all like, gift related things, the nebulous quantity of a book in its first draft, or boring stuff like "I emailed my dentist about a change in my insurance" (which, btw, I'm very proud of, but I also may have to call them, so withhold your applause).
- New month, files sorted. Big recommend to get in this practise btw.
- New month also means new newsletter, in which I fixed the couch finally and muse on how the effort to make things nicer for ourselves is worth it, actually.
- I'm also still blogging weekly, this week it's pictures of yarn I died.
- I finished the holiday card and I think it's lovely, as usual you'll all get to see it when I mail it in January.
Sometimes, when I'm feeling down I'm like "What if I went through and looked at everything I've written this year, fiction and fic and blogposts and newsletters and totted it all up? Wouldn't that finally make me feel real?" and then I go: "Hey, what the fuck." As we know in the deepest of our horrible little hearts, that's no way to keep the brain from pickling in the acid desire of validation.
Anyway, thank you as always for your support, your sharing and your likes at etc etc. I am going to have to gird my goddamn loins next year as I'll need to promote a project and! I am bad at that utterly!! Well, that's next month's problem.
