Off This Week

This week I have a "staycation," a word I've been hesitant to use, but now that an emoji is "word of the year," I suppose I can incorporate some portmanteaus. I have some projects I am trying to motivate myself to work on. Although I love blogging and it has a therapeutic quality for me, I am trying to work on other writing like formal essays, creative nonfiction, poetry, and short stories. It's so easy for me to defer on those bigger projects and just write a blog, but I hope this week to push myself to setting ink to paper and pursuing something different.
