#Today 07
Good day!
My editing continues. Only 20 chapters to go! That’s out of 93.
It’s the little milestones that motivate me daily.
I’m off for a pleasant hike north of the city this morning. That’ll be more fuel to aid me in the home stretch. I’m expecting cool & cloudy.
Be everwell.

#Today 05
Good day!
It snowed yesterday morning—again, but has turned mild. This is the time of year when Mother Nature has the flu. 
I’ll spend time in the kitchen today. What I eat I cook & what I cook lasts for days.
Otherwise, a walk & editing. I’ll hike again soon, but not on a weekend.
Be everwell.

Good day!
*An ice flow hidden in Hellgate Canyon.
Editing is truly like freeing a sculpture from within the stone. To think, I used to despise revising.
It’s about discovery, about going deeper into emotions—or deeper into the forest. It’s about possibilities.
Be everwell.

One of my stories made it through the longlist and then the shortlist for a special magazine issue before finally being rejected via a form email. Womp womp. Someone else will want it, I think. #WritingLife

Good day!
I’ve been busy each day this month, yet edited a chapter each day. I’ll have more time today.
Patience, with the process, with myself. Patience, though, doesn’t mean inattention. It means working within myself, while striving.
Finding my creative place begins on my walk.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Yesterday’s forecast: possible drizzle.
Reality? Drizzle to rain to snowstorm to sunny.
All while I hiked 11.8 miles (19.0 M) from my home, most of it outside the city. It was glorious.
This morning I’ll take my morning walk, draft a blog post, & edit a chapter.
Be everwell.

Good day!
*Mount Sentinel. If you look close, there’s an M on it. Behind it is University Peak.
Right after sunrise on this chilly day, I’ll depart on a hike down Hellgate Canyon. If possible, it’ll be a long hike. I could see some drizzle.
This afternoon? Editing.
Be everwell.

from Aug 2023
Good day!
Coldest morning in a while. Another day, another walk, another chapter to edit.
While the weather transforms, I’m transforming me, transforming the book. When I reach the point when I’m no longer doing, I’m done.
I step out the door, & the mountain air transforms me…
Be everwell.

Good day!
Have to share this. It’s maximum zoom with my cheap phone. I finally caught a squirrel partaking of my morning offering on the Milwaukee Trail.
My April journal is setup. Another chapter is edited.
I’ll walk (winterish weather has returned), purchase Evie food, & edit.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I found it, the line between winter & spring.
For me, after so many days writing around other tasks, I have a day of peace for writing, though adversity has made me insanely productive.
My last hike was my longest in months, my legs eager to tackle more next week. Bring it on.
Be everwell.
