November – Day 14


Blog / Monday, November 14th, 2011

I looked at my watch and it surprised me to see that it’s halfway through the month already. Apparently, I’ve done a lot so far, but I still have a lot left to do.

I wrote 4,000 words towards my novel last night. Not the 6,000 I was hoping for but other things distracted me. I also wanted to do a little reading before I went to bed early. Tonight, I’ll try to get an equal 4,000 written. If I do that for the next seven days, I’ll have my goal finished before my birthday. The novel will still take more time. I’m thinking at least ten days at a 4,000/day pace.

Today’s task for my 30 Day Challenge is to write a letter to my father. I’m not doing this task. I refuse. I refuse because I did this task over the summer. I wrote down exactly what I thought of my father and told him exactly what he’s done to my life and I sent it to him for Father’s Day. It gave me a great feeling to write it and send it to him. I think I have a great relationship with my father and he is one of the biggest role models in my life. So, no offense Dad (I know you’re reading this at work) but I’m not writing you another letter just yet.

I finally gave into my seemingly unending exhaustion and I took a nap today. I wonder if my heavy load this month has anything to do with it or I wonder if it’s some sort of early onset seasonal depression that makes me want to sleep so much. It’s hard to deal with the sun setting around 4:00 PM. If it extends beyond this month, I’ll blame the season and, like always, wish it was Spring.
