This made me laugh

I bought a new mug because it cracked me up.

A photo of a white mug with a black circle on the side. The circle features text that reads ‘Well, aren’t you just a little ray of pitch black.’

Starting my day with writing

I enjoyed my evening of writing so much that I decided to start the day with some more writing.

My day felt really grounded today and I wonder if starting my work day with writing contributed to that.

I’m going to experiment with it a bit more and see. 🙂

An evening of writing

I always forget how long it takes me to really dive into my writing.

Sure, I can knock off something light or something with a narrow scope pretty quickly but if it is important, complex, or if the details need to be worked out through the writing process, I need to give it more time.

But I think the thought that it will require more time or more concentration is one of the things that keeps me from diving in.

I know my brain considers ‘needs concentration’ as an obstacle.

So, how can I remove that obstacle and spend more enjoyable time writing?

Fall Shadows

I had fun with how weird mine and Khalee’s shadows looked in the fall sunshine today.

A photo of Khalee, my light haired dog, standing on some grass next to the sidewalk. She is facing off to the right but looking over her shoulder behind us. Our shadows are bing cast onto the grass beyond her making us both look tall but my shadow looks kind of rectangular.
