Tired is good

I’ve been wandering around today with an empty mind.

Having got to the target yesterday (yes 14 days & 50k words) I am in that exhausted state of “wow”.

• I didn’t know I could do it
• I am relieved I did it
• I am now thinking… about the editing part, or writing more
• I have other bits in my life I need to sort out first
• I have to ground myself as the writing consumed me
• Boy have I learned a lot about myself (and my self)
• I’m having fun with these bullet points … sorry

So, if you’re reading this and you’re struggling. Keep going. Keep plugging one finger in front of the other on the keyboard, or writing that next word in your notebook…

Probably what I’ve written is nonsense (spot the inner critic talking). Actually I could have sat there and typed a swear word over and over. At one point that did occur to me to do until my brain and thoughts started trickling into action again.

Someone said doing this is like a marathon. I’d agree. So I’m offering you a cup of something to help you keep going, some energy to get you through the next bit… keep going… it’s worth it
