Distracted–Row 80 Check-in

This is going to be a short one. I’ve been off for the last few days. I’m feeling a little down, and therefore distracted. So, I decided to make today a day of self-care. I washed my hair this morning. This afternoon it’s a facial and a pedicure. I have a pretty shade of lavender nail polish that always lifts my spirits. Can’t wait to see it on my toes again. Let’s get to the writing.

Even though things haven’t been going quite the way I ‘d like them to go, I haven’t been completely neglecting my goals. I have written every day. I’m still working on my NaNo novel. I have not hit the target words per day in a few days. But I am also not so far behind that the task is insurmountable. Week two has been slower but still progressive thus far. I am happy to still be moving forward, snail’s pace and all. Surprisingly, I am happy with what I’ve written. It’s rough, of course, but still coherent enough that  I can see the growth in my writing from last year to this year. That’s something worth celebrating.

I am hoping to be perkier and more productive by next check-in. Until then, I hope things are going well for you guys. Catch you later.
