There’s still snow on the ground, more stubborn than I expected it to be. It’s hanging in there, winter’s death rattle as spring lurks just a few short weeks away.
Not that I’m counting down or anything…

Weekly Word Count: 2,470
Okay. I know this looks bad. Let me tell you all the reasons it isn’t.
The biggest reason I’m not more stressed about this collection of bullet points is that I’m really happy with my word count this week, and how the writing felt when I sat down to do the work. Taking a brief pause to do a little more research helped ground me in the book and gave me firmer footing to move forward in the draft. I’m feeling really good about the book right now.
The office isn’t in such a state of disrepair that neglecting to tidy up is negatively affecting me. I would like to tidy up and get a little more organized, but the my actual work space is perfectly fine. This is a goal I can afford to neglect if need be.
Reading has continued at full steam, though I’ve been recently distracted by some fanfiction. I’m hoping that hyperfocus will mellow out soon.
So, the newsletter. I did not get it prepped ahead of time like a normally do, which means I will be writing the whole thing today (Sunday), right after I finish this post. It’s going to be a long day at the desk, y’all.
So, What's Next?
- Write at least 3x
- Send Newsletter
- Keep reading
- Edit + Schedule Podcast
- Tidy up office (lol)
So, a busy week. I really want to cross the 10k word mark for the month, and only have about 700 words to go. I’m feeling pretty good about that. With some renewed enthusiasm for the book, I’m hopeful that my writing sessions will continue to go well. Keep those fingers crossed me, gang.
Unfortunately, do to the freezing rain that’s been pouring all day, we didn’t make it out to our usual Sunday walk, which means there won’t be an Outings! post this week. Sorry about that.
But the good news is that it will still be a pretty active week on the blog! Wednesday I’ll be back with the Monthly Recap, then Friday the new Top Shelf Librarians episode launches. If I manage to find the time, I might even eke out an additional blog post. I make no promises on that, however.
Until then, Bloggos!
