I’m working on this goal. If all goes well, I should be able to report back that I did it soon. : – )

How I did it: I started small, working on writing only a few hundred a day. Now I write 2,00-4,000 daily. The most important thing is just to get over the fear. Just do it. Write a crappy draft if you need to but do it! Read how I did it…
I’ve started having vision problems. Particularly with focusing and distance. I think part of it is due to Mestinon. My theory is that it’s raising my blood pressure (which is what it’s supposed to do) and as a result, my vision has been wacky.
But I’m getting glasses sometime this week. Then I’ll reapply for my learner’s permit and hopefully, six months after that, get my driver’s license. Wouldn’t that be awesome??

Well, I’m not perfect with this goal. But I am writing more. Probably 2-3 times a week. Before it was about 1x every week or two. So I’m getting better. I just have to stay after it. :-)
And I wrote today so that makes me even happier. :-)
