DAY 14.2: HIGH OFF THE LIFE

So the countdown begins. It feels like New Year's all over again. The Good District is celebrating two weeks in the blogosphere in just a few hours.

We have officially recovered from the performance anxiety that I suffered last week after adding the town of Clayton (reminder: pop. 6973), to our small but growing group of readers. In fact, we/me are starting to love the idea of cultivating a readership. Although, my confidence in a strong cult following coming out of North Carolina is starting to wane.

So with our two week birthday only hours away, and a new website in our sights, what is there left to write about? This feels like the mountain top to me. Except there are still 351 days left in this project, and that darn book to write.

And what happened to the book? Well, I am afraid all I have is some solid hemming and hawing as my answer to that question.

Anne Lamott addresses the problem well in Bird by Bird, so I will leave it to her to explain:

"We all ended up just the tiniest bit resentful when we found the one fly in the ointment: that at some point we had to actually sit down and write."

Couldn't have said it better myself. So with the shield of web design soon to be removed from my excuses list, I will have to get back to.... THE BOOK.

But I will not let my writing dampen the spirit of celebration tonight. Mazel Tov to The Good District! Happy Two Week Birthday! May the best be yet to come!

14 Days Down, 351 to go.

Warmly yours, Milagros
