Seven day writing challenge.

[doctornerdington]

I haven't written much since... oh, since A Land So Wild, really. Gah. I'm starting to feel really awful about it, and terrified that I won't be able to write anything EVER AGAIN. Thanks, brain, that helps a lot. I've got a couple of WIPs started (one short and solo, one long and collaborative), and one big novel (stalled out), but I haven't made progress. And I've had good reasons. Life reasons. Leaving my husband has taken (and continues to take) a shit ton of emotional and mental energy to process. Parenting has subsequently become pretty intense, as well; my eldest is struggling with significant anxiety, and needs a lot of care and support. And lately, I've had some mental fogginess and depression symptoms that make me feel like I'm thinking through syrup. It's not good, and I miss my writing self. I want her back. 

So, okay. I'm going to make it happen. (I'm afraid I won't be able to write anything worthwhile, but? I will try?) I'm starting with a seven-day challenge, and I'll report here every day for accountability. (Added bonus? Actually using my dreamwidth account!) This week, my only goal is to write something every day. Doesn't matter what it is. It doesn't have to be worthwhile -- that's not the point right now. It just has to be words on paper (or screen). An unspecified number. But some. Every. Day. 

Here I go.
