Life got in the way of updating the last few days, and I didn’t write too much the day of and after the election, but I’m back full force today.

I hit the halfway mark today, Day 10, and it feels good to refocus on what gives me purpose: putting thoughts onto the page. It feels in some way like a long hike to 50,000 and in other ways it’s not nearly enough. It’s a good feeling.
