GHDR 2022: November Report
December 1, 2022This amazing print by Aja Trier is called Chemistry Cat Contemplates The Science of Catnip. It seemed kind of relatable, but mostly I just love Chemistry Cat and this framed print lives rent-free on my wall and in my heart <3Read moreBUT I DIGRESS…
The November Report is super super late. I’ve been working on it for weeks trying to make sense of an extremely depressing and demotivating month, but I have turned a corner and can see some sunshine ahead. It’s long and rambly, but you should have seen it BEFORE…

Nanowrimo 2022 Word Counting Calendar Update
October 24, 2022
It’s almost time for Nanowrimo again! For 2022 I’ve updated the Word Counting Progress Calendar for those of you out there who are looking for a functional visual progress counter! It’s designed so you can easily fill-in the approximate amount of words you are writing every day to get a sense of your pacing. Just record your daily word counts and fill-in the number of boxes for each day (each box represents 250 words). Some days you’ll write more, some days less…as time goes on you can see the filled-in blocks turn into a progress graph. There’s a place where you can summarize your weekly word totals and get a sense if you’re on-track to hit your 50,000 word goal!
For 2022 there are six color variations::
You might want to bookmark the official word counting calendar page, which is updated every year to reflect the current calendar around this time every year.
Enjoy!

GHDR 2022: September Report
September 10, 2022It took me a while to ramp-up since I had forgotten how to work on my own projects, but combining the old systems of the past with the new insights from researching ADHD and Autism traits seem to be yielding results. The most promising insight of them all, though, is seeing how my obsession with making a creative sanctuary for people like me could fit right into my master plan!Read more - August 9, 2022
GHDR 2022: August Report
August 9, 2022Read moreWith the big project closing down and me in full burnout recovery mode, it some time to figure out what the heck to do next. I think I have a new plan born of the desire to NOT plan very hard. For the rest of the year, I’d like to double-down on being randomly productive and happier versus disciplined and methodical and dead inside :-)
