A week ago, I feel like I was having trouble writing my own name.
Things that made me happy felt exhausting and impossible. Today, I feel like a raging storm of words and discourse. Just the thought of pulling myself away from my desk, my new laptop, and my writing seemed impossible and almost painful. Now, I’m not sure if that’s because today is Day #2 of Camp NaNoWriMo 2021, or because lately, I’ve been trying everything I can to push through the slump I’ve been in. All I know is I’ve managed to get almost three-thousand words written since this morning, and that in and of itself is pretty damn impressive.
When I woke up this morning, I wasn’t feeling that great.
If I’m honest, I felt like absolute crap. But, I still somehow managed to drag my ass out of bed, do some dishes, and make dinner. Tonight, I tried a new recipe that I’d been seeing all over the place online for the past year- the feta pasta that supposedly broke the internet… and you know what? I can honestly understand why.
Basically, what you do is drizzle some cherry tomatoes with olive oil, nestle a brick of feta in the middle, add a little more olive oil, salt, pepper, and some Italian seasoning and then you bake it at 400 degrees for about 35-minutes. You’re then supposed to be able to mix it all around, smash your tomatoes with a fork, and then add in some basil and the pasta of your choice. I also chose to add some ground Italian sausage to mine to make it a little bit more of a complete dish, and you know what? I’m glad I did. I will 100% be making this dish for my family again.
I like days like this, the kind where you plan to do absolutely nothing and still end up feeling accomplished. Hopefully tomorrow will be similar, and I’ll be able to get a decent amount of writing done on my story! I also hope to be posting more about Camp NaNoWriMo, my writing process, the journey to making words, and everything else.
Have a goodnight, Sky signing off.
