A few more things I have learned in SOLSC16

On day 8 of this challenge, I wrote a list of some things this journey had taught me.  Since tomorrow is the last day of the #SOLSC16, I figured today would be a good day to revisit and reflect.  Here is a link to the first list in case you would like to read it!

1. When you do something every day, it becomes a routine.
2. Procrastinating writing my slices until approximately 30 minutes before the deadline to submit has become a routine (see #1)
3. I wish the “publish” button said “draft.” (see #2)  This blog is more of a ‘writer’s notebook’ kind of blog and less of a published, celebrated work posted on the wall kind of blog.  There are lots of those published, celebrated, hanging on the wall kind of blogs out there and I have enjoyed reading them so much this month.  But they are still a little intimidating and way out of my league.  And that is OK.
4. Most of  my slices don’t feel very “done” to me.  But I don’t regret any of them.  I may revisit a few.  Or I may not.
5. Funny is my comfort zone.  Writing deep, powerful, emotional things is hard.  This could also relate back to #2.  It’s hard to get deep and emotional when it is 8:30 and you have to post your slice at 9:00.  And you also haven’t started writing it yet.
6. i still overthink my overthinking.  I don’t think that is going to change anytime soon.  Or maybe it will?  Maybe I should think about that some more?
7. Haiku and six word memoirs are total last minute-I-am-tired-and-don’t-really-want-to/have-time-to-do-this copouts.  And I will be eternally grateful to them for it.
8. There is still absolutely nothing that compares to the excitement of someone commenting on my writing.  Unless it is someone who has commented a few times who I feel like I know a little bit through reading their writing!  Yay for new writing friends!
9. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.  It was just hard enough.
10. I did it! (Almost) And that makes me pretty proud.
