For Better Or Worse (Also: Why is there aluminum foil in my freezer?)

Keep in mind that I am a neat and organized person when you read what I am about to write. It will frame how confusing the events of the past day have been for me. In a matter of less than twenty-four hours, I put cinnamon in our chicken dinner instead of chili powder, I found the aluminum foil in the freezer, and I found leftover pizza in a Tupperware container in a cabinet. I don't know what to make of these events.

In light of that, you shouldn't be surprised to learn that my daily writing goals are not coming to me as easily as I would like. I'm not sure how, but in the last five months of editing and minimal writing I seemed to have completely forgotten what a taxing, frustrating, overwhelming experience writing can be at times. These past few days, meeting my daily writing goal of 3,000 words has been about as simple as, well, keeping my kitchen organized, apparently.

Nonetheless, I am wed to the craft. And like all marriages, I will stick out the rough patches because I know the best parts are worth the worst parts. I will meet my writing goals knowing that next week might be easier (or it might not), but it will always be rewarding.
