Writing Journal Y3 Day 56

It’s going to sound stupid (maybe) but I find that the longer I go without writing steadily – as in, regularly, everyday – the harder I find it to start up.  I’d even go as far as to say that when there are large gaps...

Writing Journal Y3 Day 46

I haven’t written squat in over a week. My progress is in the toilet. My energy level has declined with the new work schedule ( up at 6 am, out the door by 7, home around 6:30 pm ). Need to get a rhythm going again. *shakes...
