Final count: 69 tasks still to attempt. That's actually a lot better than I thought it was. Sure, 31 tasks done or in progress really doesn't seem like a lot, but considering a lot got put on hold when I ran over my leg I don't think it's going too badly.
I'm sure there is a lot that I won't get to and I'll just have to try it another time, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it.
I wonder if there is an online creative writing class we could do together?
ReplyDeleteOh that would be a lot of fun! Definitely something to look into. Maybe for the winter when things slow down a little?
