Let’s take a moment of silence because, I have written every day for the past seven days.

That is a feat within itself, but I am going to celebrate it by taking care of my needs and finding out what works for me in the process.

I want to try early morning writing, like waking up at 6 am to write. Then I can take a nap in the day or something. Sure, there is more work to be done. I have a project and job that I am a week behind on because I wanted to figure out how I write.

If I am being honest, once it hits 4:30 pm, there are no more words in me that wants to be on paper.

So what did I do today?

I wrote with the spirit of my ancestors telling me I can’t spell.

And maybe that’s true, but the dictionary is my friend.

Today, I got to a magical number and then stopped. It might be childish, but I am who I am.

Word count: 6, 666 words

See you tomorrow, friends.
