Explicating Elle

Have you ever had the urge to leave the beaten path and just go exploring in the wilderness?

I am the worst at routines.

My reading has dropped so much in the last few years that I am inching closer to the average 8 books in a year (3rd paragraph), and that scares me.

See the intro post Progress report I had meant to get to writing earlier in the evening, since I finished my walk right around 8pm, but I got distracted and ended up not getting to it until 9:45, which means another late night for me.

See the intro post Progress report Yay, look at me, I’ve made it to week two :) I just have to not think about how slowly I’m writing, and everything will be fine :’) I wrote for about 15 minutes today, getting started on chapter two.

I am a night owl.

See the intro post Progress report I wrote for about twenty minutes and finished chapter one.

See the intro post Progress report Just 10 minutes of writing today, but I did cross 2k, which was nice.

See the intro post Progress report Today I wrote for nearly forty minutes.

See the intro post Progress report Today I crossed the 1k mark with prose, and my fast-draft writer brain was so disappointed that it took me 4 days.

See the intro post Progress report I wrote for my 10 minutes today, and not much more.

Burn Lackadaisical Sella dor (cellar door) Glisten Any word that ends in "m" Surreptitious Penumbra Zenith (pronounced the British English way, zeh-nith) Palimpsest Somnambulist Do you have words you love the sound of?

See the intro post Progress report I wrote for probably close to 20 minutes, took a break for some evening routine stuff, then wrote for another 15 minutes.

See the intro post Progress Report I'm off to a rocky start, unfortunately.

Normally I like starting challenges and projects on the first of a month, like National Novel Writing Month1 in November or Million Words in a Year (MilWordY)2 in January, but I don't want to wait to get started on something.

A few days ago I watched part of a video from a very small (822 subscribers) Youtuber with the title "How Fields of Mistria made me HATE Stardew Valley".

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I was a naughty pre-teen and ordered a bunch of books from a mail-order book catalog using my mom's checkbook and information1.

It is finished My move is done.

This week at school has been workshop week.

I remember seeing a post1 a few months ago about Moments, an indie web photo blog site.

When I was in grad school, I was briefly friends with the students in the year above me.

I'm trying to get back in my blogging habits, and a good way to do that is to continue doing Top Ten Tuesday posts.
