note to self: go outside
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." — Henry David Thoreau credit My phone died recently. Not like died because of its charge — permanently died. I'm not the only one whom this has happened to, I'm sure, and this isn't a complaint. Rather, it's an observation on how different the landscape of my life has been without it. I've been reading more, watching more TV, doing less doomscrolling. I found that I've missed my phone a lot less and simultaneously a lot more than I expected. And I've been noticing a difference in my mental state.

ReplyDeleteI hit the 3000 word mark yesterday. :)
P.S. What's your NaNo username so we can buddy each other? If you want, that is.
Cheers for the 5,000!

Happy NaNoing!
Wow for 5,000 words!!! Pretty impressive!
ReplyDeleteMy day went way, way better than I thought it would - much better than it did last year. =D I think last year I just barely got to 16,667 words, but this time I did over 2,000. I'm at 4,280 now!
(Love that - "remember to breathe." Haha great advice! =D)
I can't believe you made it to 5000 in the first day. Good work! Even though I'm not doing Nano myself, I still like reading all about it on my friends' blogs! At least I will be making quite a bit of progress in my writing this much.. just not striving for the 50k goal. GOOD LUCK!
