Two Birthdays (...and a Firebird)

[diyanawan]

 I was born this day, 26 years ago.

2 years and 2 days ago, I sat in the apartment room I had rented for my graduation week, breaking into new Moleskine books I had bought alongside my breakfast coffee (an early birthday treat!...The Moleskines that is), cocooned in my artificial warmth while the typical New Zealand spring rain misted outside.

Hey! :D Congratulations on getting on LJ! Just out of curiosity, do you live in KL or PJ? Cause I live in PJ and yeah. :) Good luck with the commitment! You can do it!

Yes I'm in KL!! But I do go to PJ once in a while. Raju's roti canai is boss!
But OMG so awesome that there's a writer in the vicinity! We could do write nights at mamaks! :DDD

I absolutely love that you're doing this. I know it really works for me, and when I first started it, I totally didn't expect it to work.

My advice is to have someone to whom you hold yourself accountable, at least for the beginning. I had someone who'd ask me EVERY day if I'd done my writing, someone to whom I couldn't lie or fudge the truth. After a few weeks I didn't need that accountability anymore because it was an established habit, but at the beginning it REALLY helped.

I'm dancing for you and your signs... sounds like amazing things are happening! Woo!
