September 2013

September! My little sis goes to school (high school, special ed. kid), so I no longer have to wake up (disturbed) near or after noon to her singing in the living room or playing a movie too loud. (We live in a teeny one-bedroom apartment that is NOT soundproof.) My priorities besides writing was also finding a job, but I was a little... hesitant. Several things came up at once all of a sudden, which made the stress worse. You can see it in my writing here and there. Not very much progress, then a whole lot. *Repeat*

  Ugh. The blanks spaces are annoying me. Those were nights where I stopped writing and I was too tired to record. But I did put a star in my "Writing Reward Chart" for those days, so I know I wrote then.
  The chart is basically a little handmade calendar in a composition book, in which I put a star sticker on each and every day I write. I was inspired to make it by the suggestion of author J. Anderson Coats, who uses a similar one herself to keep writing. I started it last August and since then, it's been my cure to writers' block. My thanks and a double high five!
  The only downfall: When I broke out of writers' block, I got affected by an illness called "readers' block". Still trying to find the cure, but at least I can still write!
