Write Every Day, September Day #4

[auroracloud]

I did some yoga tonight, at home with an online video as I always do these days, and oh, it was good for me. I really need to start doing it more often, it's good both for my body and my mind and feelings. My mind's so often all over the place and I'm tense and restless and can't find the quiet inside that I need - to feel well, ro relax, to create. It's worth taking out some time of my day/evening to find that quiet place and put my mind and body in the same place. I need to remember that.


Today's Writing

I wrote a couple of hundred words of some sort of freewriting internal monologue / narration for one of my original ideas. I also worked on another half-written femslash ficlet draft - I don't think it needs much more to be complete, but I'm too tired and need to head off to bed now.

How was your writing today? (And yesterday, if you didn't check in yet for that.)

... Well, it sounds really interesting, at least! For a casual yarn geek like me, at least. (Casual, because I haven't finished a knitting/crocheting project since whenever.)

But clearly you've been working on outlining, so yay!
