Packing is Happening

December 7th

Here are some happy things from today:

• Morning sky.

• Last month I made a commitment to write a little every day.  Keziah had given me a book, You are a Muffin, which is basically a story prompt that is partially led by the roll of the dice.  I ended up writing over 9000 words to a story that was based around a Muffin.  Go figure… It has a beginning, middle, and end.  It is a bit disjointed, especially when I ended up switching from first person to third person.  Because we are moving, I was going to leave it alone until that was done.  It keeps creeping into my mind.  The other day I realized that I could split it and have it go back and forth between at least two of the characters' first person views.  This morning I wrote down some notes on the characters to give them more personality and a bit of a background.  I'm happy that I haven't just let the story drop yet.  
• Before packing up boxes I tried to use the Tangle Quandary to draw a tree.  I like how it came out, but the Quandary design mostly turned into a bunch of seed shapes.  

• Many boxes were completed, taped up, and put into the storage container.  I think seven or eight.  A couple of those were basically ready to go and just needed tape.  Emptying closets, shelves, and drawers has not made my room feel empty yet.  I'm happy progress was made.  I definitely ran out of energy sooner than I expected.
