I'm Back!
Hi all you ROW80ers...

Here's what's been happening with me.
I had brain surgery in July. It stopped a certain stroke from happening. Now I have superpowers... I have increased blood flow to my brain, and a big, sexy scar (24 staples from my ear to the top of my head). I am deluding myself that this means increased creativity. I am a writer, I can do that. Right?

I have just, in the last few days, been able to watch television and do other things simultaneously as I always have in the past, without getting a fatigue headache. I am regaining my drive to write, and actually looking forward to going back to work, which is in a little more than a week.

My goals are:

1. Walk every day. I was on a 10 pound weight restriction for 6 weeks and now that I am able to lift normal amounts, EVERYTHING feels heavy. Walking is going to help me to get back to my normal stamina ability.

2. Write 2000 words every day. I have a yearly goal to write 260,000 words this year. I'm at 12,691 words this year. I am finding an increase of joy in writing by using a pen and paper rather than my computer. Weird. I know, but I am going to try it for a while. I may have to go to the computer for faster writing, to catch up if I get behind or to refine my story.

3. Edit my first book in the series I am working on. The first step this week is to receive and set up the new printer.

4. Prepare to go back to work. I will do this by keeping my personal calendar up to date and doing some quieting and centering activities. I have a high stress job.
