Sometimes you’ve got to work through the sh!tstorm.
At times like these, I’m glad I have developed my consistency muscle.
An absolute dumpster fire at work. Not of my making but, it is my responsibility to deal with all such dumpster fires and clean up the resulting mess. Time consuming and emotionally draining. Too much drama and heartbreak for my liking.
And we’re out of home for the week. Completely unrelated to above dumpster fire, had to take refuge with the family in campus accommodations while our place undergoes renos. The renos were planned, the need to throw everything we could access into shopping bags and seek shelter elsewhere, was not.
Busy, distracting and inconvenient but, somehow I have managed every day to get out 1000+ words of writing, even if they had to be written in fragmented spurts of 300 or so whenever a window of opportunity opened up.
Have stayed on pace with editing 2 chapters per day.
And got my weekly Subtsack story up.
This time a flash fiction prehistoric meet cute:

In times like these, I like to remind myself of the Tony Robbins’ quote: “The biggest problem I see is that people believe they aren’t supposed to have problems.”
Amen Tony. The problems are our opportunity to prove we’re committed. Singing in the sh!tstorm as it were.
