Blog postSo the fact that I both twice typed this as 2014 Year In Review and that I already finished this post only for Firefox to crash and me to lose it all is telling, right?
Anyway, I have to be grateful, despite 2015 being a shit year in so very many ways for the world at large and for many of us personally and collectively there is NO DOUBT that this was a huge breakthrough year for me professionally after many years of working hard…finally some things are starting to pay off.

Blog postGah. Massive failure.
I mean, I met my most important goals, which is key when you’re doing work for hire (in part just because you know, you need a PAYCHECK) but the lack of words on he Novel is really upsetting.
I did get sick twice which made it really hard to work at my usual rate – the second one being a bout of vertigo…which have you guys ever had this before? Kind of terrifying and basically impossible to work. So, considering that plus three+ days lost to Thanksgiving -
Blog postYou guys. Jessica Jones is really good.
You may or may not know this about me but I have trouble with A LOT of superhero adaptations (especially TV)…this makes me feel very lonely…and so when something that works for me as well as Jessica Jones does (so far) I can’t help but feel happy, but also…relieved?
Anyway, we’re 3 episodes in and I’m REALLY pleased. It’s a distraction from NaNo for sure, but it’s also kinda inspiring, which is nicely refreshing.
Okay day today. -
Blog postDespite the distraction of Jessica Jones debuting (I had to wait to watch it with someone, which helped!) I did pretty well. Thanks in part to hustling for a deadline (which also means I got to cross something else off). Woo!

Blog postMy numbers aren’t great considering they’re for 3 days not one (5k over 3 days is way too slow), but they did find me finishing at least one significant project, closing in on finishing another, AND I may have fixed my sleeping schedule (maybe?) so that’s something. I did go to bed at a fairly reasonable 2am (ish) and then popped awake at 5 (ish) so I’m probably gonna need a nap at some point today but I’m currently wide awake and working, so that’s way more than half the battle to be honest.

Blog postYikes. Little blip there. We missed…um, 6 days of updates. Bad, bad Kelly. I have been working but I’ve had a few frustrating days. But honestly, as much as I’d love to believe that I’m a writer that’s a machine – a writer that can just WORK IT – because I pride myself on accountability and I believe that writing is much more about “hard work” than it is about “being inspired” but the truth is – at least for me – some times you need to take a step back. You have to give your brain a rest, or

Blog postToday the blank page was a scary little bitch and it took me all day to wrestle her into submission and get some words onto her. Grrr. But I DID conquer her by bedtime (so what if bedtime is looking like 5am!)

Blog postGood productive day. Not a high word count unfortunately, but today was mostly revisions which don’t traditionally produce high word counts, so it is what it is.

HOWEVER, I got my priority work done and since we’re a week in, I guess it’s time to re-visit the “to do list.” It feels good to cross things off…but I’m not moving fast enough for sure. Hopefully -
Blog postGah. Awful day writing wise. -_-
And I’m still sick but it’s not a good excuse, mostly I’m just terribly disciplined. I’m the worst.
