A Page a Day Keeps the Apple Away...

...or what have you.

I'm a little groggy from being sick all week, so please excuse my dear aunt sally.
Or my craziness, which ever you prefer.
(For efficiency's sake, I don't have an Aunt Sally, so don't waste your time.)

I've taken up another challenge, this time not only self imposed but self invented.  It's the wonderful season of Lent you see, which means that every not so-good-at-being Catholic along with other "high church" Protestants (and probably a good handful of "non-non-denominational" Protestants as well) make a personal sacrifice for 40 days (plus some).  We also eat no meat on Fridays. So, among some other things, I've thought of trying to teach my very undisciplined arse to actually write like I want to! How silly of me not to do the thing I want to do!


so creepy.....

I actually love Lent.  I love the hopefulness that it gives me when I think of the sacrifices we do. That the horribleness of suffering could be used against evil, to end up making more good things. Bam, Satan, eat that.

Like NaNoWriMo I've merely scheduled an amount of writing to do each day so that I have something to show for myself at the end of this period of time. I've chosen the insurmountable quantity of one page each day.

That's right. I'm intimidated too. (Especially by the above pic.....) So, good out of bad: Although difficult to make myself write, I'll have 40 odd pages done by Easter.

Anyway, today I write while surrounded by 77 degree weather on March 1st on the back porch of my apartment complex, watching birds fly by and bugs get all excited cuz they think Spring is here.
Which, it might be.
Come 'ere pretty flower!! I've been waiting all winter!!

I felt very successful today about accomplishing my one page, so I thought I'd share.

Cheers!
