It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

Signed up for a couple Coursera offerings. Took care of the rest of the Giftmas presents to immediate family.

Set up a notebook

It doesn't sound like a big deal, just setting up a notebook for a story. It's called a "world bible" in some corners for a reason, and I need something portable, light enough for me to carry, sturdy enough for me to feel the paper with my neuropathy, and so on.

The criteria list is actually quite long, before I've ever set pencil to paper.

This notebook will be the backbone of the Tammy Lin series, and I've already penciled in a goal for January 30th: Write 50K words of stories in this universe.

Page one of notebook is done.

It is a really big deal to me. A huge thing, despite being a stack of three by five inch index cards!

Did some self care including a bath.

Held down the fort at work during an emergency.

Went exploring on Sydney ferries. We discovered that the reason we were going to Manly wasn't there any more, so we picked the next one using the traditional method of 'which one leaves next'. We discovered Cockatoo Island, and went all the way to Paramatta. It was *fabulous*.

That sounds delightful!

Got my orders in on time.

Made food happen.

I was successful at reimaging old machines for new purposes.

More importantly, however, I was able to recognize the focus, and avoid negative self-talk about the consequences of that focus.

Excellent.
