Anyone else keep a journal? Natalie Goldberg and others encourage a regular writing practice. Whether it’s Mornung Pages or a sentence or three, do you document your life?

There was a time when one would walk into a gas station and find a rack filled with a variety of maps on display to help people who were lost. But you had to know how to read a map so they were only helpful to the few chosen ones.

Yesterday I spent must of the day retrieving documents. I thought I had enough redundancy baked into my process but I clearly do not. It didn’t help that I had the blue screen of death… twice. But here we are. I found them. Today I can make progress. I hope.

Not sure about chapter 6 but there are things I like about it. Might be matching it and weaving moments elsewhere. Onto chapter 7!

My morning workout buddies. Technically, this was yesterday because today we went on a walk, enjoying the very humid but comfortably cool spring morning. My mind is racing with tweaks for chapters one and two. Cannot wait to get back to the keyboard. Chapter 6 beckons.

Today’s chapter, after yesterday’s tearfully emotional one, is to add tension. This isn’t a high stakes novel so the tensions are more interpersonal than catastrophic but tension nonetheless.

Yesterday was not as productive as I had hoped. Today I know will do better because I have a scheduled working session with others. Accountability!

For weeks now, I’ve been focusing on myself and my mental health because 2025 has been an exciting year. I am not a fan of excitement. But I’ve been getting back to my book, back to my writing, and I hope I can get back to keeping you all updated on my progress. Time to stop hiding from the world.
