stonepicnicking_okapiWord count for February: 22,344
Writing: My main accomplishment was completing the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea fic for Seasons of Kink.
My main goal for March is to complete a Russian Holmes Omegaverse, The Magic Flute.
Poetry-wise, there was a sestina, a xenolith, and a Keatsian ode. Going forward, efforts will be focused on April (National Poetry Month in the US).
There is a new-to-me comm called100wordsprompts, which has posted daily prompts for the month of March, some of which look interesting, and a oviposition challenge for Easter, which also looks interesting.
Reading: Six more books for the bingo. I have library books for at least four more squares. And I am planning to participate in the GYWO book club that is currently underway [the category is Romance and the book is Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston.]
Personal: 24 out of 29 days of waking up early. Focusing on limiting consumption of red & white meat and junk food and exercising more this month.

Date: 2020-03-02 11:17 am (UTC)Yes, waking up is getting easier. And the muse seems to be slowly waking up, too. And I have the relief of knowing that lunch is packed and early morning chores are done. The going to sleep is a bit more difficult. I lay down early (around 8:30)but sleep doesn't always come as quick as I'd like or need. But early is getting up between 4-5 am and if I extend the parametres of early to 4-5:30 am, I made it all but one day last month.
I am also trying to eat better, and of course, five days into it the food dreams have already started. Last night, I dreamt of ice cream: chocolate chip cookie dough and mint chocolate chip. But in the grand scheme of things, I suppose it's better than dreaming about abusive ex-lovers!
