I’m doing alright with my writing catchup so far. Once every week, I do 2 writing sessions on 1 day to make up for the days I missed. I found that it would be too overwhelming to do it more than once a week, so for now I’ll have to be content with it taking 10 months to catch up on all the missed days. It hasn’t been bad as long as I remember to keep my phone off and if I have to turn it on, to use what I need quickly and turn it back off before I get distracted. I also finished doing rewrite notes for my original story and am implementing changes for my second draft. Despite being often distracted, I’ve already done almost 38 pages. Granted, I wrote the first 60 pages for graduate school in 3 drafts, so the more substantial changes await beyond that.

Speaking of changes, I’ve been cleaning out a bit. I’ve been throwing out VHS tapes and used notebooks. The only VHS tapes I kept either involve things I don’t know the content of or recordings of rare programs that I want to preserve. I might feel some hesitation with throwing away class notes and such but thinking about it, it’s unlikely I’ll every look at them again, so away they go. I’m wondering if and how to get rid of my toys, since I know now I’m not a toy person. I asked my parents and will google around. Dad has some interest in selling them but that would involve a lot of work. If I go to stores and donation places, I’ll probably give them away in all one go or huge chunks. I’ll worry about that at a later time though.
