  • Hitting the Wall

    I’ve hit a wall today. I am sitting here with a massive case of the doanwannas. This is the first real writing I’ve done today, and even this I’m finding hard to follow through on. This is not unexpected. I knew I would hit a wall in my quest to form a daily habit of…

  • A reminder to myself that forming good habits is always harder than I hope it will be
