Another week, another complete lack of editing. I will freely admit I’m getting frustrated and discouraged at this point. It’s like my brain just refuses to engage in any extra thought. Once work is done it shuts down until the beginning of […]
I’m sad to say that I continue to struggle with motivation and creativity. I realized earlier this week that I’ve missed two blog entries, when I thought I only missed one, and I can’t even say why I missed the second one. […]
