Remember that time I told you I planned to have several blog posts written and scheduled ahead just in case life got in the way, and that if I was unable to post, there would still be content?
Oops.
I know you may have been expecting the AWP Day 2 recap this week, but (as I’m sure you could tell from the title of this post) that’s clearly not what you’re reading. I had this past Monday off from work, and I had a glorious three-day weekend planned where I was going to get a handle on my writing schedule, finish my recap posts, and get ahead by writing a couple of other posts–plus some boring adult stuff like get all my tax documents in order, change the battery in my car, etc.
Unfortunately, all of those plans were derailed by the flu. Thankfully, I’m feeling much better now, but the weekend was rough. I could barely concentrate on the tv show I was watching, let alone try to do any writing.
I thought about trying to push through just to stay on schedule, but then I realized that this space is also a space of authenticity, and that means that sometimes I don’t meet my own deadlines. Actually, a lot of times I don’t meet my own deadlines.
But I still wanted to make sure I posted this week, even if it’s something short like this.
As far as a word count update goes… I’m not going to post my word count from last week, because I didn’t get a chance to really dive in like I wanted. (There probably won’t be one from this week either.) I’ve still been in the project re-reading past chapters and getting back into the world, so I count that as a win of its own. I’m still doing work on it, just not actively putting words to paper yet.
Anyway, I hope you all are having a much better week than I am, and I hope to post those next two recaps soon!
