I’ve been wanting to write to you all for some time now–all of February really and somehow it’s already the 20th. I’ve chosen to let other things take priority–my novel mainly. I just finished a stretch of working on it everyday for six days in a row, and I’m hoping to make it seven later today.
What I’m listening to now: Untold by Daniel Gidlund over and over again, and the ocean
What I’m reading at night: Alexander Chee’s The Queen of the Night
What I was drinking while I was writing this: Chakra #2 An Herbal Tea for Passion and Creativity
What I’m smelling still: Big Dipper Wax Works Clarity Tin Candle
This blog I’m loving: Sarah Bousquet talked herself into one true thing a day for 365 days. I was immediately hooked–what a pleasure to follow along on her journey. Any of you who enjoyed my #1truething project will love Sarah’s too. Here’s her first post, and today’s is #32/365. Please click over to One Blue Sail, bask in its gorgeous watercolor header (a Sarah-and-her-2-yr-old-daughter original), and leave her a word or two.
On my todo list for today: walk, read, write, this post
What I’m having trouble with: I remember it’s 2016, but I can’t seem to understand it’s February. When I write the date, I keep starting with 1.
What I learned how to do a few days ago: make the ‘like’ star show up under each comment
What I’m looking at: oh you know what I’m looking at : )
What I’m thinking about: YOU ALL
~
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
Oh! So happy to “see” you pop into my inbox. I’ve missed your words and your photos. So glad your writing is going well. (Mine too. I sold a story in January.)

I’m so honored to be mentioned here – thank you, Cynthia!! Cheers to all those consecutive days spent working on your novel – so exciting! I keep having the same feelings about time, thinking it’s January not February. Now with this sudden stretch of spring-like weather it’s feeling like April and I can’t believe we have all of March ahead. Still, I’m glad for a good chunk of time before the busy swirling summer arrives. 🙂

Sarah, it was my pleasure to write about your blog. Sorry to be so behind responding to comments, but I’m happy to report continued progress with the novel. It’s really so hard to accept I can’t do everything every day : )

Love hearing about your writing life. God, with time, I keep flipping back to 2006. We got too far into the 21st century and my brain can’t seem to handle it. Not that it’s a bad thing. Like growing older, it’s better than the alternative. But man it is a time warp. Love that you are listening to the ocean as you write.
