High Hopes

I do have high hopes for the blog, really. I have them for my writing, for finishing that philosophy manuscript, for applying to writers' residencies, for getting some exercise and eating properly again, for fulfilling my word quota each day, for getting up early in the morning, for staying in touch with my friends, for maintaining a sense of calm as I move through my day, for refraining from complaining. I do. I really, really do.

Hang in there, TI, and keep the hopes aimed high.

I'm right there with you, ti, and I have every faith you'll be back at it in no time. It is, after all, very difficult to transition.

I also believe that I'll have a better week next week and that I'll finish my novella by the winter and I'll publish something within the year, because without that hope we're dead in the water, so to speak. Keep the dream alive, sister.

P.S. Nice little piece of writing there.

You couldn't have said it better. Man, if I could cross everything off my planner in a day instead of moving half of the to-dos to the next day, I'd be a different person. Oh, that old tormentor Ambition!

I am also def with you. I wish sometimes I was someone without ambition, someone who could just enjoy life as it rolls in. But alas that is certainly not who I am, for better or worse.
