I had the perfect title for one of the projects I’ve written in mind this morning, went back to sleep, and forgot it. Sigh.

I’m planning on working as much as possible for the remainder of the week – there’s a portion of my current novel I want to get done before next Monday, but it’s one of the trickier pieces I’ve committed to.

There’s no real reason I want it done before Monday, I should note. It’s an arbitrary deadline I’ve set for myself. But, if I don’t set these deadlines, nothing will ever get done. So even if I don’t meet the deadline, at least I’ll have progress!

Speaking of progress, I’ve picked up my self-guided study of Korean again. I feel like I’m retaining more this time around – mostly because I go over the same lesson again and again rather than rocket through it. My kid is interested in learning too, so I got her a Hangul alphabet workbook. She’s actually jazzed to do homework! What a novel age she’s at.

There are so many things I want to be doing. An exercise routine, learning Korean, writing articles for cash while also having time to write my books. Then, come September, I’m adding schooling to that.

It’s going to be too much for me. I know this. Something’s gonna have to give, and I dread it being any one of those things. Right now, I’m not exercising, which is Not Ideal.

If only being disabled didn’t take up most of my time.
