Writing ------- I'm starting to get into a flow of writing like I feel like I haven't had in months. It's nice but it comes with a strange kind of anxiety: ah, could I have just turned this on at any time and I was being stupid and/or lazy? Is it just temporary and it's going to disappear again? I don't know. My plans to use org mode seem to be working out well and I'm losing less information than I was for a bit there. I feel guilty because that means I'm using my fountain pens a little less even though I'm also writing a lot by hand as a free flowing journal. All I can do is try to keep going. Here in Portland it's cold and clear, the winter before the spring rains come back very soon. I'm getting a chance to walk a lot in the crisp air, which always helps my brain feel less on fire. I've been focusing on my health a lot in the last few weeks, pushing myself harder on exercise. I want this year to be a good one. I'll do everything I can to make it one.
