Keep it going

I don’t have an update to any works in progress because I haven’t made any progress with them. I’ve let doubt creep in and derail me. It’s okay. Shit happens.

When shit happens, it’s important to recognize it’s happening. Once you’ve realized you’ve started down a path you don’t want to be on, you can always turn it around. It will take some time to get back to where you want to be, or to get on the right path to where you wanted to go. It’s all right. It’s the journey.

In times of stagnated progress, or wandering from the path of where I want to go, this blog has been important to me to maintain some kind of momentum. I’ve missed my scheduled posts occasionally, but I always come back and I always catch up. And I’ve been updating the page 13 Words on my site every month on the 13th. Those moments of discipline, of following through with what I said I was going to do, mean that I can do it, even when it’s hard.

And the people that read these entries and like them enough to hit the button spur me on. You give me hope that people want to read my words, from the ramblings on this site to the stories I want to tell. That means the world to me.

So thank you, from the bottom of my dark heart.
