Accountability is everything, my friends. It’s crazy because you read about it in all the self-help books, and all the writers and creatives you follow religiously say the same thing. It turns out it’s true. Initially, my accountability was irking me and didn’t help. Right now, I have good accountability. It’s all I want. I have tried being strict with myself, but that was edging dangerously in not so productive or healthy accountability. Initially, I asked my friend Fred to check if I didn’t post on this blog daily over the summer. Fred kept me accountable. He loved wielding that power. If you are reading this, don’t deny it, man. Love you.

I am in a better space now. I have a good system going, and the other residents in this home are accommodating, which I love. The physical space I am in is good and bad for my accountability. I have no reason not to be writing this blog right now. I have a deadline, and that is also a great thing to have. I have a word count goal, which is also a good thing to have. I do, however, also have an annoying little yapping machine downstairs that is on high alert now that she thinks the house is empty. She barks at any and everything that is moving outside. It is incredibly distracting, and I wish she wouldn’t. I love you, Pepper but for God’s sake… I wrote about her before, which was one of my first blogs back in the day. You can find that here.

That may be enough moaning for one Monday. So, what else is going on? I’ve been trying to get out and go for a walk every day from now on. I started walking a lot when we weren’t allowed to leave our homes for most things. That time. A couple of years ago. I hate to brag, but I have an iPhone. The fitness app has a move goal section where you can set goals. I have been trying to reach that move goal every day since the start of the year. I’ve gotten into a good routine with it. I will hopefully go off as soon as I finish writing this blog. Wish me luck.

In other news, I am finally starting to progress on my other creative projects. You will hear all about it on Friday. Lucky you. I did some performance stuff. How exciting. I’ve potentially got a hectic week ahead. That all depends on whether or not people get back to me. I am glad I am in a place where I don’t worry about things like that anymore. It doesn’t bother me, so stop bringing it up. Seriously, it doesn’t.

I hope you enjoyed this moaning on a lovely Monday evening. I hope your pets are well-behaved. I hope you had a great day. Thank you for reading, and thank you for your time.
