Chapter 1. Day 2. Yesterday fell flat... on my face. It wasn't a fail, there's much to rejoice in. But I could have pushed harder. So today, I take that lesson and make a lesson sandwich. Don't give up on that motivation that seems to have fallen flat. It's still there...

Tomorrow, 7 April 2025, will mark the beginning of my new journey to a better me. I know that's a cliche to say "better me", but there's no better way to say it. I use the @bestselfjournal.bsky.social Journal and Planner. And the other day I read a prompt that asked ...

Now is as good a time as any to grow your own fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. And not out of fear. But rather, grow your own because you can and because doing so puts you in control of your food quality and pure goodness!

I finally shared a bit of my novel with my sister-in-law, who is also a writer. It was a little scary at first but what came to be was 6 hours of talking about the magic we writers channel if only we allow it to happen. Cheers to letting the magic be what it can be.

Just yesterday I was listening to Geeky Girls Journal on YouTube. She was talking about fear among other things. She brought up the idea of fear of failure which is often coupled with fear of success. She said she's not afraid to be successful. Rather it's the fear of not living up to that success.

4 Days Left of 2024 Days 2 & 3 of Reflections The author and Podcaster Murr Lafferty did a podcasts about writers and Tigers. She talked about how tigers don't ask themselves how to be a tiger, they just DO tiger. In 2024 I learned how to just DO what Elpy does.

Although the bald eagle is used on the country’s official seals on everything from passports to currency, it was never designated the national bird.

To My Fellow Writers and Artists: Use the holidays to people watch. Use your people watching observations to help you build your characters, their behavior, interactions, etc. P.S. People train AI on other people's work. Don't be artificial, train yourself. You are your work.

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere. The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back. A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year. Fiat lux! 📷 by @annieworsley.bsky.social

It is thanks to the blind help from other writers sharing their writing stories/journeys, that i found I do have the skill to write a novel. One of the most valuable things I learned is that first drafts suck. Get the bones settled and build on that. Thank you kindred spirits for helping me see.
