So, last week was hard. Maybe this week will be too. Migraines are kicking me hard and I am treading water, trying to stay positive and, most of all, trying to keep going.
I did not anticipate the start of this year being so full of illness (of all kinds, take your pick) but also so distractingly full of incredible wildlife encounters. As a result, I have not finished my novel as planned. Instead of getting despondent I am giving myself a deadline – the next draft must be finished by the end of April. I feel good just writing that because it’s doable but it means I need to stop letting myself be pulled in a hundred directions and focus more of my healthy time on editing. I can definitely do that.
Doesn’t mean I won’t be getting out and enjoying spring though! Not a chance.
