Personal goal was to write something every day, and thus far I've done it! Probably 2 hours a day on average at the desk. It has meant I've gone to bed at midnight most nights but it's been the most fun I've had writing in a while

Hit a mid-month/start-of-a-new-project slog myself BUT we persevere. What helps me is the thought that:

-I have made it through many slogs in my life

-There has never been a slog who has made it through me

(this might be gibberish and that's fine too cause I'm counting this towards my word goal)

Gives you access to 800 archived episodes too, which honestly are very relaxing to go back and listen to

Is this a coping mechanism? Lol probably but idc, it's great

Also, Car Talk came back this week, with Ray taking calls as part of the Car Talk+ subscription

Shorter episodes but a great way to support NPR!
