Routine

It's hard to start anew. I love the idea of New Year's and starting fresh, but I never do. I wait a few weeks for the craziness of the holidays to die down before I try to make any big changes. I've found, that if I do this, the changes don't get packed up with the holiday decorations, but actually start to become integrated into my daily life.

So, beginning this week, I'm getting up early to try to write-just a little bit-every day. I'm sure some days I will have more to say than on others, but at least I'm getting something out every day! Maybe this will become my norm, and then I might be able to justify calling myself a "writer". Maybe I'll get lazy and start sleeping in again, and then I can call myself "sleepy". I've realized it's futile to try to plan an outcome, because you never know what might change that outcome. It's quite acceptable, and even necessary, though, to start out doing what you think might give you a specific outcome, and see if it gets you anywhere close!

That being said, today I did what I said I wanted to do. Tomorrow is another day, and then the next. I'll wait and see where they lead and keep doing what I need to do to get where I want to be...
