Project365: #50-56
Maybe, by the end of this year, I’ll have figured out how to make cleaning day look at least a little bit interesting, but somehow I doubt it. I just have to accept that some days, there’s nothing worth taking pictures of.

Snapshot #71 | 10 Things for 26 February 2017
The last two weeks haven’t been the best (blame the weather), but I’ve been: starting | finding | realizing | wishing | thinking | working | feeling | getting | wondering | hoping

Project365: #43-49
We finally got some significant snowfall this week, which is far more photogenic than the dreary grey cold we’ve been dealing with this winter, but did mean that I didn’t get out of the house quite as much as I wanted to.

Project365: #36-42
So, as this project goes on, it turns out that the most difficult part of the whole thing is figuring what to write about it every week. I might have been smarter to plan for monthly roundups, rather than weekly, but… here I am.

NaNoWriMo 2016: Postmortem
It’s been just over two months since NaNoWriMo 2016 ended. It’s been ten months since I first started thinking about maybe trying my hand at it. It’s been exactly a week since I typed “the end” on the story I started back in November.
It feels like a good time to look back and think about how the whole thing went.
I’ll start with some backstory. (If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you might know some of this already.) I used to write. A lot. At least 2000 words a day, four days a week, without fail. I did NaNoWriMo a few times, years ago… until I realized that it wasn’t really a challenge anymore, and that starting a new project in November would mean putting any current projects on hold for a month. I considered myself a writer before anything else.
The problem is, I’ve got a perfectionist streak, especially when it comes to writing.
