JOURNALS

I started my morning with a creative thought about needing to write the newsletter for the upcoming week. Reflecting on it now, I feel pretty good about the outline. The content is mostly reflective, but there's a nice part about inks which excites me, especially the idea of testing them.

Initially, I planned to incorporate some self-care into my day by writing, thinking it would be relaxing. Unfortunately, a headache decided to crash the party. Instead of cooking the veggi sausages and burgers I was looking forward to, I had to rest. Thankfully, the headache eventually went away, allowing me some relief in the end.

Writing out the newsletter took up my time this morning, but I enjoyed it. The more I write, the more I realise how much I love creating and wish I had more time for it. It’s these little insights that keep me motivated and aligned with my goals.

In the afternoon, I got to work on outlining the newsletter for Thursday. I’m pretty pleased with how it’s shaping up. I also managed to sketch an outline for a script about my arm tattoo, although I didn’t get as far as writing it out. There's more to do on the generative handwriting blog post, but I only managed some minor tweaks.

I also tinkered with the code around Kitty and the newsletters I’m subscribed to. It’s an ongoing project, but each small step feels like progress.

As the day comes to an end, I find myself grateful for a few things. A good supply of inks, fresh fruit, and a comfortable place to rest were the highlights. The fact that my headache went away is an added bonus.

Taking stock of today, there are ups and downs, but it all balances out. Writing and coding occupied most of my day, and though not everything went as planned, the moments of small victories feel rewarding. Tomorrow's another day, and I’ll pick up where I left off. Keeping optimistic and focused on what's ahead.
