And here we are. Happy Tuesday. It’s Tuesday, January 19, 2021 and I’m still here. Can’t believe it. I really can’t. It’s a rough day for me. I wrote 80… 8300 words yesterday. I can’t even count. 8300 words and then I had insomnia at five. So, got up, and finished the novella and turned it in, which is good. But I haven’t had a chance to sleep today. So I’m a little out of it. My hair looks snazzy. Thank you Fyrerider. I have a new overlay for those of you who can see it. And I think it’s a little less distracting. I put my word count up here in the top left. It says two days to go, but I’ve already turned it in, because I know I’ll reach my goal when I do edits, because that’s kind of how I write. Hey Sario. Good to see you. But Santa. Santa is not there anymore. At least he shouldn’t be. I tested new alert things. He’ll be back before you know it. Yeah. Anyway, this is a podcast called I Should Be Writing. I mentioned last week that I was going through a bit of a cold shock, realizing that I’ve not been very good with turning my stuff in lately. It’s partly there’s a lot of stuff going on there. I mean, we’re in a pandemic. There was an insurrection against the capital. I’ve had a lot of problems with migraines in the past 12 months. A lot of excuses but other people managed to get stuff turned in. So, I realized I needed to bust my butt and so I counted this morning and I’ve written 31,000 words this month. And it’s not the end of the month yet and I didn’t start on the first. So I guess I should be proud of that. I’m glad you like the new overlay people. I’m pretty happy with it. Thank you. I’m glad you think that’s a good accomplishment Frigsdaughter. I’ve been still feeling kind of bad about myself because I had to write so much in a binge because I’ve been putting it off, procrastinating. I shifted and the camera went weird, okay. But it’s done. The stuff’s done. The stuff’s into the editors, so that’s a good feeling. But I wanted to talk about, you know this show tries to tell you about a lot of the insecurities and terrible things you feel are normal as a writer, as a creative person in general.
