Hi, guys! Welcome back to my blog!
It’s a mess… My weeks recently have been such a mess that it actually ruined my concentration in writing more often than I intended to. I know I haven’t posted here for many days and to be honest, I have no proper excuse for that. It’s either I was lazy, I forgot or I couldn’t force myself to write anything at all.
Lame excuses to some. But I’ve been having a writing rut during those days (maybe even weeks that I haven’t updated. The more I force myself, the words that would come out would feel like crap to me.
Many people would say that it’s okay, that things would get better. And honestly, I believe that. But at the back of my mind, everything feels like crap. It only gave me more dissatisfaction. After that, it would frustrate the heck out of me. It’s crazy!
In any case, let’s go back to the topic of life update:
◾️I found a way to get out of that writing rut. For two days now, I've been doing a 15 minutes every hour writing sprint. It’s a writing experiment that I saw on one of Sara Lubratt’s videos on Youtube and decided to try it. By far, it’s doing wonders to my brain. I’m able to work on two stories simultaneously with this style of writing.
◾️I haven’t been writing long journal entries lately. Instead, I would just write journal entries on my DIY multi-year journal that I made back in June. So yes, they were only short entries. And that’s fine by me. My mindset on this is that I still get to journal and do my best to reach my new goal — and that is to journal everyday for 2,000 days.
◾️One of the stories I posted on Dreame that I’ve been working on which I’ve given the project name Project Primrose (a.k.a IHOTY) was accepted for the pay-to-read program. It was crazy! But happy, as well. I know that there could be a significant decrease in readers adding this story to their favorites because it now became a paid story. But inside me, I know it won’t deter them from reading it. It’s one thing I believe.
◾️I don’t think I ever mentioned anything about our out of town trip heading to San Juan, La Union. But yes, we did go there. And we also went to Manaoag (after such a long time since the family went there) before heading back to Baguio. Realization: it’s hard to enjoy swimming in the beach when the waves are too strong for you to handle. Then again, San Juan is one of the country’s surfing capitals, so I guess that’s a given
There were only four (at least) major events that happened during the weeks that I haven’t posted anything here. For some, they might not be that life-changing. But they were all important, just the same.
The emotions and feelings that go with each of these little treats and achievements in our lives might be mundane or in some cases, incredible in its own way. They gave us a lot to enjoy about, to be frustrated about, to cry about, and to be happy about. And all the same, it made us grateful that we are given another day, another chance to cherish them and do more things to enjoy about and most importantly, treasure them with all our hearts.
These little moments might not happen again. These choices might not come again. There are things that only appear in our lives only once, after all.
Okay. This has been quite dramatic for a short blog entry. I can’t even make any promises at the moment that I could actually start writing about the topics I compiled and was eager to write about when I planned them. But things can change over time. Let’s hope that the enthusiasm and eagerness were able to redeem themselves later on.
Thank you so much for reading till the end. I hope you guys have the rest of the week feeling good and amazing. I’ll see you on the next entry. Bye!
