Seven Days Down 358 to Go
365 days of writing is my #1 goal this year
2024 has inspired me. I’ve been preparing for it for several years and it’s finally here.
It didn’t start any differently than any other year. Chaotic school and event schedules for my kids, always feeling behind in my business, and wondering if I’m making the best decisions I can.
Yet I knew this year would be the year.
I’ve written 7 days (8 with this) in a row and will continue to write no matter what for the next 358 days until 2025 rings the bell. I only have vague rules at this point. Write and write some more. If it’s short or long, get a point across and cross it off the calendar.
At this point in the last several years, I would have felt the tug to stop. To give up, shrug my shoulders, wonder why, and move on to something more or less productive with my day. This year, I’ve looked forward to sitting and writing, even reminded myself to get it done when I had to start late.
You might think, “it’s just a fluke, she’ll give up soon.”
I’m here to say, it’s different. You know when you know and this year, I know. I’ll reach my goal, learn something new, enjoy the process, and find another project at the end of this year to do.
Enjoy your year! I’ll be here.
