How many times have I done this "Start Over" dance?

Man do I suck at this blogging business.
Once upon a time I was really good at this. I had a Livejournal that I updated on the regular, so regular it was multiple times a day. But this blog? We're lucky if I update it once every 6 months.
I know I started off the year saying that I was going to set myself a goal of 500+ words a day, I think that lasted around 6 days in total. Would it be to repetative to say that I'm going to do the same again with 2018?

Well regardless if it is, I am going to attempt it. Even so I'm starting off with a 30 day challenge as well, just something to get me back in the habit of essentially talking to myself. I was so good at that...

This is the challenge.


I initially found it on Pintrest with no credit to the author, but managed to track it down to this blog, in which the author credits a now defunct blog. Regardless of who created it, we're going to try this in January. Not only will it get me back in the habit of writing, but it will get me to figure out who the hell I am. After all, my username is Finding Gaby, and the whole point is to find something within myself that I actually like, or something to that extent.

So wish my luck, I need to start holding myself accountable for stuff like this.

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
