this is the statuslog of @sylvia Her continuing mission: to do what she loves. No matter what.
The thing about looking up stuff online is that the moment you open your browser, you are distracted by 2 million things and you forget what you wanted to look up.
And then you spend half an hour staring at the screen, wondering what you were going to search for.
This is why I've now given myself the rule that I HAVE to write things down in my journal before I even think of opening my laptop or phone.
If only I didn't keep forgetting that in the heat of the "hmmm I wonder if"-energy spike.
1 month agoIt’s funny how inspiration works.
I was thinking about a bad time in my life where mirrors played a part, and I figured I could use it for my main writing project this year.
I knew I didn’t want it to be a negative thing, though. I wanted it to be something beautiful, a cathartic moment for my character. I just didn’t know what.
Then this morning, I woke up, walked to the bathroom and a start of a poem plopped into my head.
I walked back to the bedroom, repeating the idea, and now there’s a poem in my project about a mirror and what the main character sees in it, and it’s so beautiful.
It’s time, this book needs finishing.
I don't like rain in summer, but in Autumn I love it. Rain is like an invitation to go and curl up in blankets and read, sometimes to watch the drops play with the green/red/yellow/brown leaves.
4 months agoCurrently a cat bed for one kitten, who is totally not trying to sniff out where I hid the snacks she so loves.
5 months agoWorking on my first weekly notes, now trying to decide where to post them. I'm leaning towards my weblog, as I want to keep my writing blog focused on writing and reading and my simplify blog focused on well, simplifying.
I am such a nerd about stuff like this!
7 months agoAm playing around with the brave browser and am in awe, so far. And while I geek out: bear 2.0 is incredible. I love the changes. I have even added some writing projects I would like to do something with this year to it, making it a one stop shop 😀
8 months agoI’ve just re read my blog post on writing and I felt such a relief to be free of all that pressure I put on myself regarding my writing and that’s made me a very unhappy woman in these past years. Ready to embrace FREEDOM (here is the blog: )
9 months agoI do love the idea of a statuslog, but I always forget it exists. So now it’s in my favourites and I’m committed to keep it up. Current status: having breakfast, after that cleaning the bathroom is on the menu alternated with editing the first chapters of my novella
9 months agoI am a productivity machine today, despite the fact that the hay fever is really bad today. I'm just in bed with my laptop and a sleeping cat, and checking off many things from my mental to do list (haven't given myself time to write a real one). The best thing I did was setting up my NaNoWriMo novel in Scrivener, and for the first time I want to touch it :) #Writing #productivity
9 months agoSpent most of my morning updating my links page at . Then I added a new picture to the new picture feature, and posted it on my blog over here:
Then I updated my Now page over here: . It's all part of my new omg-friday routine :)

1 year agoYears ago I had to stop drinking coffee because of medical issues. Those are mostly gone but I always had tea ever since. Until now. Just had cappuccino and heavens opened 😂
1 year agoAm in my office sitting on the wobble stool I bought to see if that would help my back. Doesn't make a lot of difference right now, but I've found that I love to wobble dance on it :)
1 year agoGood morning world!
Just woke up and smiled at daylight streaming in from hallway. Turns out that I slept six hours in a row!
Feel like superwoman.
1 year agoIn bed with a sleeping cat in my lap and a sleeping husband next to me. It’s a good thing I have a book waiting to be devoured.
1 year agoJust woke up and I am currently functioning as a cat bed. My only regret: not pulling the blankets up higher before he curled up
1 year agoJust went to the thriftstore. Bought a silver flower pot to use in my office. I just love to come back often, and find treasures 😀
1 year agoI have made a now page! I need to add more stuff, but I like it!
