Day Eighty Six: Heavy Day

Published on December 6, 2025 at 1:15 AM

Even though I went to bed early last night, I still slept until 3pm and I am still tired! Probably because it's the second day of my period or maybe because I'm still sick. Who knows. 

I wrote almost 2k words today which is great! And I think I'm done with the current chapter I'm writing which is chapter 14, and also from Presley's POV. I want him to kinda like him but still realize that he is a piece of shit asshole and that is a fine balance. But he only have a few chapters, only enough to see what he is doing in contrast to Ariella and how they are going to clash and all of that fun stuff.

I'm already onto the second week of my curriculum I made for learning editing. Today I made a huge playlist of professionals talking about editing processes and tips. That's what I'm doing for the next section, learning from the pros. The first week was the basics and I read a bunch of blogs and books to learn from and I really think that it went really well. I did my worksheet and essay which was fun and silly. 

I feel like I managed to push past my writing funk yesterday where I only did like 300 words. Just nothing was flowing yesterday because I was SO tired. Like I'm still tired today but not as much so I can still get shit done lol. I have to make some sticker art today because I'm going to use them for mood tracking and goal tracking in my Q1-26 planner. I'm going to do them digitally so I can fuck around with the size and the copy and paste feature so I don't have to draw every single one by hand. I think I still have sticker paper, pretty sure. I'll have to check tomorrow. I can just draw them today and make them super simple, like flowers, emoji faces, seashells, stuff like that. I am having a hard time figuring out what I want to focus on goal wise for Q1-26. Maybe it's because I'm so focused on my December goals? And it's only the beginning of the month so I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to accomplish during this month and that will determine what I need to do for the next three months. I don't know... Maybe I'll wait until later in the month to fully figure out those goals, for now I'll just brainstorm about it and continue to work on my current goals. Which are all going pretty damn well so far. 

I'm proud of what I've been accomplishing. I love being productive, it makes me feel alive honestly. Like it gives me that rush of dopamine that I desperately need. It also makes my brain not buzz so loudly. That buzzing gets so overwhelming sometimes that I have to do like three or four different stimuli to make it quiet. It's crazy, but what can you do.
