Day Five! Final Marathon Day! 8000 words, 5000 steps. I didn’t sleep last night. The chart that my Fitbit produces was just ugly, filled with red lines of all the time I was awake. I honestly think it was just because I was so warm all night. So this morning, I made the decision early […]
It’s Day Four of the Writing Marathon! 10,000 more words written, 10,000 more steps taken! As I suspected would be the case, today was mostly easier than yesterday. It was easy to start, easy to fall into the words, easy to walk. For the first three days, I’d been having a half-caf iced coffee after

Day Three Marathon! 10K words, 10K steps. As has happened with other marathons, today, Wednesday, was the hardest day so far. I’m more tired, even though I slept pretty well last night. I find I’m misspelling words—more than usual—and falling into my habit of spelling thing backwards. Door become Rood, was becomes saw, etc. This

Marathon, Day Two. 10,000 words and 10,000 steps! I didn’t sleep well last night. I was awake from 1 AM to 4 AM. I was afraid that this might happen sometime or another during the marathon. I hadn’t planned on it rising up so soon. I made the decision first thing this morning that I

Since I’m actually counting the midyear as of today, I figured I’d post my numbers. Managed 41K for the month of June, which is fabulous! My goal was 40K. That I got 41K is really awesome. I’ve written 248,759 countable words for the year. (I count blog posts, essays, and fiction. Not emails.) I’m about

About nine months ago I had a full knee replacement, on my right knee. I feel that at this point, I’m between 85-90% healed. I have my doubts about reaching 100% by the 12 month mark, but you never know. One of the milestones that I reached last week was the ability to squat all

The woman who lives on the property above us used to be a jockey and race horses. Her daughter still rides race horses at the local track. Even though horses may live until they’re 30, they don’t race for very long, only a few years. So the woman who lives above us rescues “old” race

It’s close enough to the midyear for me to be able to do a review in terms of writing, right? Though to be honest, the main reason I’m doing this is to give myself credit for the writing work that I’ve done. I’m really good at encouraging others when it comes to their writing. However,
