I PLAN TO WRITE DAILY. This is blog #1 of 2022! January 2nd, 2022. So this year had a pretty rocky start.
I’M TIRED. I’ve had no sleep since New Year. We went to bed early on Friday. At about 6pm? We decided not to go to our family’s end-of-the-year New Year’s Eve party. However, because I had a lot on my mind, I woke up at 8 pm and couldn’t get back to sleep. Then the loud partying neighbors bass started at 9pm-10pm. Then the fireworks as soon as 2021 ended. Then we needed to get up at 1:30am!
I headed to my parents after I dropped my wife off at work. It was nice to hang out with family for the day, but I ended up not getting any sleep on New Year’s Day afterward, either. My wife needed to head in early today, and I couldn’t sleep. We stayed the night with my parents, and I tried to get some rest on their rocking chair, but that wasn’t happening. My kids also didn’t get much sleep, so we all woke up cranky.
I also have this weird cramp/pain in the lower right side of my back from sleeping on the rocking chair? It had padding, it wasn’t one of those fully wooden ones, but it was still really uncomfortable. I thought I’d be okay sleeping on it till I woke up.
The rest of today, my youngest was just in a foul mood. Crying, upset, moody, and everything made him have a breakdown. I ran on a few days of no sleep, so I was grumpy. Yelling. Irritated. We were all on edge, and the year had just started.
I TRIED TO GET SOME REST AT HOME. Neighbors started knocking on the walls in the afternoon while I was passed out. Of course. I never know what they’re doing? But they were banging away, and that woke me up. I hate living here. I hate these neighbors. I really hope we can move soon. I pray that this is the year because it’s hard to have moments of peace when you have loud, inconsiderate neighbors.
I PLAN TO PUSH MY PROJECTS FORWARD. On a more positive note, I have plans for this year. I want to publish a book on KDP, start posting a new novel to Kindle Vella and start creating more prints, T-shirt designs, and stickers that I’ll be posting on Ko-Fi. I also want to finish more low-content books for KDP. I also hope to post more frequently to Tiktok, Instagram, and Youtube with writing, book, and video game content. The overall plan? Generate income from my work.
I WILL WRITE EVERY DAY. I want to keep track of my journey as I move forward. For myself, as a reminder and as a journal as I push forward. This is the year! Let’s make it happen in Jesus’ name. Amen!!!
