I’m building a great track record for not going hard in the paint for milestones on the day they happen. Perhaps because I use them for reflection and not as the goal to stop on/at. Frame of mind I suppose. But I’m closer than ever to reaching the two year mark. Thirty days or so and I’ll have it. We’ve met a number of challenges over that period, and somehow came out on top. I’m not 100% there yet, but I’m closer than ever! We had black outs, major snow storms, ice storms, freezing rain, heat waves, SARS Covid-19, vehicle break downs, extended family health concerns with dementia and now throat/tongue cancer. Even busier work year two years running, building on last years successes. Lots to derail this little writing challenge. Yet – I’ve come through, hell or high water. I do not know how long it will last.
I’m doing ok for viewing numbers, but nothing like when I was writing creatively on a consistent basis. I still have little flashes of story snippets come to mind, but it’s hard to put into words what a brain drain it is to write any appreciable sized block of creative writing. Even the super short stories I lean on will make it difficult to brain after a while. My hat is off to those who can do it. I wonder sometimes if the SARS Covid-19 brain fog has left some lasting impairment and that’s why I can’t seem to hold a story / characters / places & dialogue in my head for more than just a brief glimpse or flash of insight. Troubling to think about. Best not to linger.
To the best of my recollection it is Wednesday. Ciao Bella.
