Yesterday, I discussed that I wanted to edit and outline articles. Unfortunately, I didn’t do any outlining. I edited 550 words in my writing session. Expanding my opening scene paragraph which was 120 words to 300 words I edited.
My goals for today are to outline and finish editing my chapter, which I think will be about 500 words edited when completed.
It was hard to get started after so many weeks away from my writing. The ADD wanted to run wild, I stayed in my chair to stay focused and took breaks. Once I reached hyper-focused, I started making good progress on my chapter.
Now, it is about to get back to a routine of writing and editing daily as I transition to a new normal after having my surgery.
It is vital to remember to give myself patience; as I put my new routines back in place, allowing myself time to adjust. It’s essential to keep my expectations in reality. I don’t become overwhelmed with all these changes.
Taking just things day by day. Self-care is crucial.
