This week I have been both productive and unproductive. By that I mean, I’ve actually gotten a lot done but it won’t reflect in my targets. I have been doing my Japanese lessons, my Spanish lessons, been working out a lot more, I did my 10km walk today for Clothing the Gap, I’ve gotten most of my May Goals done and I’m definitely on my way to feel better about life in general. I’ve been reading a lot more and have actually started editing TAS. I’m halfway through the first main part of the story. These past few days have been important to my professional and personal development in terms of finding my place in activism for the rights of Black people. For African-Americans, for Indigenous Australians and extending to minorities all over the world. I use ‘Black’ to encompass all affected by racism as it is what white people have used to segregate people, but do acknowledge that skin colour is secondary when it comes to people’s cultures.

I’ve been working on one of my older projects lately, Fey Wars. I’ve been working a little on other pieces but mostly on editing and assignments. The first half of the week was dedicated to my presentations and the second half of the week was dedicated to ridding myself of the stress of the week to prepare of the next week of assignments.

Tomorrow marks a new week and a new month and I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be spending the morning with my brother and the afternoon planning for the month ahead. I’ll also need to get a move on with my last wave of assignments.

Currently, my targets for the week are at:

• 2,329 / 10,000 for “Personal Writing”
• 3,146 / 5,000 for “Professional Writing”

Thouhg I haven’t written much these past few weeks, I’m hoping that a monthly focus project will change that. If not, I will lower my weekly target to accomodate my changing lifestyle. I’m worried that I might be drawing near a dry period of writing and that I’ll have to wait a few more weeks for it to come back to me, but on the other hand I’ve been improving in a variety of areas of my life so it’s not quite a bad thing. It just always feels so bad to not be able to write.

That’s my Writing Reflection for the week starting the 25th May 2020.
