Accountability Update

I've got at least an idea for all 20 prompts at this point, and I've created stub articles for all of them.

Now working on a bit of filler art and getting the rough drafts down.

Six articles are officially submitted, and while I'd love to work more on all of them... this is good enough. I'm sure I will go back to them at some point in the future.

After more-than-a-bit-of-a-breakdown on Tuesday, I'm back to feeling hopeful. The day-job (aka: the things I've done to monetize my life, I'm self employed) has been busier than I'd intended it to be this month. I have one book that I need to finish formatting for a client, plus the ongoing website development projects and general upkeep.

The brightest spot has been in dealing with my students. They seem to be very motivated and are having fun exploring the classes. They're following the rules (#1 rule is NO STRESS) and contacting me when they get stuck, which makes me happy and encouraged that this part of my life is progressing as I've hoped.

Today is a "meeting day" where I'll spend most of my work time in meetings. The people I'm meeting with are all cheerful and encouraging, which means they don't drain my creative energy. So despite a lack of time, today is productive!

Other Progress

Completed the write up on my sponsored prompt.
