I think it sounds like a good idea to do sth to make me feel accomplished. Actually, what makes me feel really good is to write stories and read them on tape for a friend of mine who loves to listen to my voice.

I also like to read bad fanfic and/or short stories by my favorite author, Alice Munro, for the same friend. I should do this today, maybe it would help gain a calm state of mind.
