And I'll begin by talking to myself, which is something else I'm good at.

I followed [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s tip and joined

picowrimo. I badly need a boost: other than the commentfic I wrote at the very end of the October round here, I've done almost no writing at all this month. So I've committed myself to write every day, with a staggering word goal of 100 words. Not much, true. But more than I've managed for weeks. The point for me is to get back into the routine of writing every day, period.

This will be taking place in the face of the following additional November activities: reduce my possessions as much as I can before packing everything up and moving from Seattle to Florida at the end of the month. I've been in Seattle for over 20 years and in my current flat for almost 11.

At the same time, I have to finish wrapping up, documenting and handing off all the pieces of my very complex job. I've been there for 9 years, I'm the Operations Manager and the only tech-savvy person there, and my esteemed bosses, having been given two month's notice to hire my replacement, aren't replacing me at all.

So I really need to make time to write. Hopefully the writing will also be a stress valve.
