A week of a Diary of a Writing Project: Finding The Words Through Harsh Weather

Monday, Day 237

Again, the almost routine will change.

Kiddo will go back to daycare. Next Monday.

Weird feelings. Of lost, mostly. But I know it’s an illusion, sort of. If I was to change my mind and become a stay-at-home-mom, without any kind of help available, I would grow bitter, resentful.

Also, daycare makes kiddo sooo happy. Playing with other kids, being in contact with other humans.

We’ll see… We will also see if I can write a word today!

Monday, Day 223

The goal this week is to take advantage of the spring weather and write outside in the morning, as much as possible.

Of course, this morning, with a good old minus 1 degree Celsius, I’m keeping my writer’s bottom warm and snug in my bed.

Also, a surprise was waiting for me in the email box. A request from a client.

It pays close to nothing, and the guy actually recorded what he wanted the blog post to say. Nevertheless, I wrote the thing, and quickly too. After all, I barely had to use any kind of creativity.

Anyway, it was good to work on something that wasn’t the novel… for an hour or so!

I got used pretty quickly to spend on my writing time on personal writing project!

Will tomorrow see me writing outside? Read more, héhé!

But !
