Write Every Day: 25 November 02019
Nov. 25th, 2019 09:30 pmGreetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-In Post for 25 November 02019.
It's the last week of November. (Well, yesterday started the last week of November, really, but if you start your workweek on Monday, usually...) It's also nice when you have people around who are able to offer their table to anyone who wants to be around other people for the Feast. It is the time of the year when it gets cold and dark quickly and it can feel like there aren't allies or others around who want to have your company. There are more than a few variations of the "Quote tweet this with your most controversial take on [Z topic]. I love [Z] controversies." going around, but the one that I've strongly considered using is "Quote tweet this with a self-compliment that your inner critic would find controversial, but you're choosing to believe it's true." Because that's the one where I don't need a hot take, but to actually think about something that I can choose to believe is true.
When people say things that are complimentary to me, they mean it, and it will not change upon learning about the "real" me, because that person they are complimenting is the real me.
I also suffered a small wardrobe malfunction today, as a garment that I had said I would wear until it tore made good on the threat it was making to come apart at the seams. It had a long and useful career as a covering. It has a couple of siblings that are still trying to hold on, but the next one that decides it's done with me will likely trigger me having to go purchase some more of them to make sure I have enough to get through a work week without having to do laundry.
In writing, I kept trying to set down and do a lot of writing, and I still got words in place, but there wasn't the extended session that I usually think of as "getting writing done," because there were other things to do today. I am perfectly fine with those things needing to get done, as I have nothing under deadline that needs to get written immediately.
Here's the tally so far:
( Rally-ho! )
