Shout out to everyone working to finish the 52 books/52 prompts challenge in 2025.

When I've had a day when I'm drained I like to turn my brain loose on writing prompts to just see what comes out. I'm too tired for the gatekeeper to do its job. I'm too tired to self edit. I can just let the words flow.

I'm letting a story rest. When I finished the last edit I felt like I finally had it the way I pictured it. I'm hoping after some distance I will feel the same way.

When you have a good day, a day you feel good about, stop and recognize you've had that kind of a day. Put it away in a memory box where you can pull it out and remember there are good days.

Keep your options open when your plans don't work out. Sometimes you need to wait for pieces to fall into place so you can do what you need to do.
I'm having one of those days. I'm currently waiting for a delivery that was supposed to be here two hours ago and may be here within the next two hours.

Most mornings I wake up expecting to wake from this dream/nightmare of being an adult. Apparently, I'm stuck being an adult yet again.
