Getting to the halfway point in a novel is a weird feeling. It’s hard to describe, but to a large extent it can be summarized as a combination of disbelief (I’m halfway already!?) and confusion (Wait, have I covered at least half the stuff I need to cover!?).
It’s a good feeling, certainly, but still weird. Add to that the simple fact that this half of the novel took me 2.5 months to get to (way too long), and the next half has to be done in the next 2.5 weeks… yeah, weird, complicated feelings!
Oh well. In the grand scheme of things I can’t really complain.
I’ve written a proposal for funding for the writers group I (used to) run locally, and while I don’t think I’ll get the funds, it was an interesting experience to consider the impact it’s had on me and my fellow writers. I’d certainly produced more consistently with the writers group, but that was in the Beforetimes and everything was easier back then. Looking forward to getting back to a sort of normal, at least! Hopefully soon!
Speaking of, my dad received his first dose of the vaccine, and my mom is on the list for next week, so that’s good news for both of them. I’m actually pretty jealous. I’m hopeful for sometime in the summer, but at this point who actually knows… regardless, there does seem to be a light at the end of this tunnel, and that’s definitely something worth celebrating!
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
