I took in some 2016 Olympics this morning. I'm not an avid watcher, especially of the summer olympics, but a man I went to high school was competing and I wanted to see how things went. I enjoyed watching someone else from my hometown chase their dreams. That was a bit of a pun as he's a runner.
When I was growing up, it seemed a common belief that no one from my little hometown could amount to anything. Also, that everyone would invariably move back there. Many in my generation have refused to give that credence. Many of us are entrepreneurs, artists, top athletes, etc.
I'll be an entrepreneurial artist soon. I'm excited about this, but I'm not in a rush. I'm using this downtime to better organize my home and personally grow. I want to be sure that I'm back in the driver's seat.
Part of that growth has made me realize that I should be a little selective in my writing projects. One of my upcoming opportunities I backed out of because with the job changes, my novel, language learning, and other life priorities, I realized I could not get it done in time. I'm not one of those writers that can get 2000 words down in a day. Maybe one day I will be, but I'm not there currently. I didn't have an idea for the story yet and it was stressing me out. I'll be happily working on the story for the next one once I finish the edits for the fall story. Editing has been an adventure. It's teaching me a lot and I should be able to improve my writing because of it.
Anyway, I have to get back to the job stuff and the editing.
Ciao,
