I know it's probably not evident that I like translation immediately, but I really do love languages. That's essentially why I like to write. Because of my love of languages.

Anyway, I really do appreciate everyone's thoughtful replies.
Wasting, i am presently editing a nonfiction book of 90,000 words on a long hospitalization I had. My passion is thrillers, though, and I am about halfway through the first in a series (I have already written the second one). Generally, I have no issue finding the drive, but, sometimes, this illness robs my motivation. When that occurs, in order to keep moving forward, I have found it helpful to simply schedule in writing time. So, today, for example, not really feeling it. But, at 7 pm, come hell or hihg water, I will edit for at least 30 minutes and I will write at least one scene in the novel. If I still lack the drive when those two things are finished, then I will put it away. If you read about how spme famous authors work, you will find that a number of them do something similar to this every day.

So, maybe try putting it on you rschedult. 30 minutes? 60? Something not too daunting. Give it a try. It might help you.

He was my sweet prince Roll Call 167 :)
Oh, cog, I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you...

I am sorry, Kit. we all love you.

Going to try to start walking more, to get healthier.

I'm grateful. I was talking/praying to God and it helped me feel better.

Listening to Lindsey Stirling right now and reading my mindfulness book

I’m actually really glad my dating days are over. So fckn glad. Wasting time on people who either just wanna hook up or don’t wanna commit long term. Plus tons of just men who who don’t want to work or take on adult responsibilities. Etc.

I have to admit, aside from specific issues that so many couples have, I got extremely lucky because I got a good man, plus he’s totally was my type from day 1!!!
