102

On the occasion of my late grandmother's birthday

My grandmother who passed in December would have been 102 today. Instead of talking about how she loved or how wonderful or pretty she was I want to talk about how the grudges she held were things of beauty. RIP Me Me

It's weird

To have just done something I think is important and not have a lot of people I feel comfortable telling about it. It happens a lot actually. I don't want to come off as bragging when things are going hard but I want to celebrate a lot of years of hard work that got me to where I am and to have the opportunity to be able to do the thing that I just did. I'll put it here for the 4 people who may still read me and for myself in the future no matter what happens with the project.

I'm on the first draft of my book and have been able to write on it for 14 of the last 19 days. I just crossed the 36k word mark and I'm shooting for 70k. It may all be trash, but I'm pretty sure it isn't...I'm pretty sure it's something, actually.
