100% me when I lived in China

On my radar screen these days... #quarantinelife #worksinprogress #amwriting #amdrawing #plantbased #justice #justintrudeau #punit #throwback #wildturkeysinboston #memoir #ahmaudarbery

For motivation and inspiration, I made a daily schedule today on a large piece of studio art paper. Also have been keeping a daily writing calendar for the last five months or so, and that moment after I write every day and put an x mark ❎ over the day that I wrote is always so satisfying! My writing goal is always to hit 2,000 words per day, and I tend to write fast and furious but I need to slow down and work more on careful revision, which is something I tend not to look forward to as much as drafting. I’m going to try to stick to this schedule for the foreseeable future. Starting my day with writing greatly improves my mood. Doing that first thing every day is also helpful in combatting writer’s resistance, something Steven Pressfield talks about in his fantastic book, the war of art. #amwriting #quarantinelife #quarantine #motivation #inspiration
