Today’s post is an update to inform that I am back in the race of NaBoPloMo 2104. I have not posted the last two days due to some unexpected setbacks and the resultant sheer exhaustion. But life has to go on, whatever. Right? So I am back , determined to write whatever I can and complete the challenge. After all, the best cure/solution for everything related to a writer (apologies to “real” writers for calling myself thus) is words and only words.
I hate giving up on anything if I possibly can, and by the fact that I am where I am in life, I know I have fighter genes (whatever they are!) in me. I have forgotten the number of times I have had to climb up a mountain, figuratively speaking, only to be pushed down the cliff, sometimes by what is euphemistically termed Fate, sometimes deliberately by humans around me, only to get up and try again. So, try again I will, because what else is left to do with your spirit, but try to stand and go on walking?
I will also be back-dating and posting for the two days I have missed. I don’t know if that is ‘allowed’, but will pretend to myself that it indeed is. As it is rules change with time, don’t they? Please bear with me if I am tardy in replying. Thank you for understanding. For today, I am leaving you with a picture of Luci, my constant source of joy.

Luci is adorable, Shail.
Whatever the setbacks you are facing, I understand that you are strong enough to face them. And it is life we must face those even when we are exhausted. And you are a writer in all means . Continue writing and inspiring us. I am participating in NaBloPoMo, I have signed up two of my blogs but started only from 3rd of November so I am behind too. It’s about motivating us to write everyday, right, So when life gets on a way it is alright, I guess :). All the Best in finishing NaBloPoMo, Shail.

Luci…my darling :*
Shail, I understand the part about finishing whatever you start. I relate to that…but sometimes some unknown force is making me do other things than those I promised myself. But I tell myself, “You tried your best – the maximum best. When it didn’t work out, do something else instead of being critical of yourself” Its helping me…
And I await your pics and words…go on, take your time and enjoy your NaBloPoMo 😀

Yes, i agree. We should know when to let go too, having done our best. But I guess, I haven’t learned that lesson when it comes to things I have started 😛 Sigh. If I have started it, I have to see it through, at any cost.
Thank you for reminding I have this lesson to learn, to not be too critical of myself. 🙂

Yup, at least I can do the back-dating thing. Or else the ‘incomplete’ challenge would bother me for long. Hugs, Pixie.
