Have you been feeling a bit punchy lately?
Me, too!
Know what will cure that?
Getting something down on paper!
It’s not a bad idea to write out whatever is bothering you. On the page, you can push, pull, manipulate, erase, and sometimes solve problems.
But even if you’re Pollyanna today, I promise if you’ll feel better if you set a writing goal and strive to reach it today. You’re bound to make some progress, and you’ll have us all cheering you on!
Please leave a comment below, because, you know, cheerleading our way is a mutual endeavor. Good luck, and hallelujah! (A tip: Don’t use as many exclamation points in your writing as I just did. Editors frown on that.) see you later.

/ August 3, 2015Today I was planning to work more on Ruth from The Man Who Loved Chocolate, but while Simone and I were walking this morning, a conversation in my head about walking became an essay about needed criminal justice reforms. So I think I’ll try to draft that. Wish me luck!

/ August 3, 2015Sometimes it’s fun to see what comes. I noted Mrs. Crotty has been very chatty lately. Much enjoy her observations about city life.

/ August 5, 2015I am still thinking about how to translate “punchy” and “Pollyanna”. I do not like any of the translations my dictionary offers, but I cannot come up with something better.

/ August 8, 2015Have you seen the movie or read the book, Pollyana? It refers to someone who always sees the sunshine in every situation.
Punchy is how I feel when I’ve been working too hard for too long without a break. A bit overreactive!

/ August 9, 2015Thank you. Yes, I understood as much, but somehow I can’t find translations as colourful as the English words.
