Fixing A Few Things

Alright. That’s it. I caved. I’m doing a half MillWordY.

This is a short MillWordY update, but I thought I’d let everyone know. I took the last week away from social media for several reasons. The main reason I wasn’t posting was because of the stress, burnout, and overall done-ness of MillWordY. I was tapped. So, I took that week to refresh and reset and I discovered some things.

The first is that I am not in the proper headspace to try MillWordY. It’s a challenge for a reason, but it was getting ridiculous. I want to challenge myself, but I don’t want to put so much pressure on writing that I can’t enjoy it. So, I’m instead trying for 50k a month (600k a year), which is still a challenging goal but light enough that I can live my life and take care of work and family.

The second is simpler: I’m bad at social media. That’s all there is to it. I’m camera shy and awkward and don’t know what I’m doing most of the time. So I’ve been seeking advice and scheming and, while you won’t see the changes next month, the new year should bring some big things for Lori Fayre.

That’s my update. The past week has been tiring, but I feel like I’ve gotten a lot done and I think I’ve made things easier on my future self. So, here’s to starting over and (hopefully) knowing what I’m doing this time around.

Cheers,

Lori Fayre
