I have a real day job. Not a freelancing, contractor type deal but an actual nine to five. What sucks about this is that my best hours are undeniably nine to noon. Those are the hours when I get my best writing and editing done, but a lot of the time, I have to use those hours for work.

So, I’m having to rethink what a ‘good day’ looks like when it comes to progress on my creative pursuits. Sometimes it’s just one sentence, or writing out my to-do list, or making an edit to a single paragraph. But I know that all of that little stuff will keep adding up, and maybe one day, I won’t need that nine to five.

Whatever you’re working on, I hope you’re able to make a little bit of progress every day, no matter how little that progress might be.

Love and gratitude, as always.

I am trying to post something every day reflecting on creativity, what’s inspiring me now and what’s inspired me in the past, what I’m working on. Think of this is a public writing journal, made public only in an attempt to make myself more accountable.
