doctornerdington | Seven day writing challenge: day two.

Three pages in personal (paper) journal, speculating on some likely sort of existential reasons for stalling out on novel 2, and possibly productive ways to think myself through it? I mean, who knows. Feels kind of good, though.

I'm making a big effort to sneakily reduce screen time in my household (especially for the boys). One thing we're doing is some family reading/writing/art/piano time every night, although I don't call it that. And probably because I'm being low-key about it, overall it's going well. Right now I spend the time working through CBT exercises with kid 1, but I'm thinking it will eventually give me time for writing/reading, too. As it is, I'm finding the 45 minutes between the boys' bedtime and their lights-out time, when they're reading silently in their beds, is good writing time for me. It's quiet, I'm relaxed, but not yet unconscious.
