Day 2 – Kujichagulia – On this day we pledge to define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves.

There are no Kwanzaa presents. Yet, in the spirit of defining myself, I buy a bottle of grapefruit tequila, a new sweatshirt, a recliner for my bedroom, a new book. I am determined to cultivate a tiny corner of comfort for myself.

But I hate feeling like I am just one more writer with confidence issues. It’s so cliché and uninteresting.

#100

We made it to 100. Thanks for hanging out.

I cannot write because I have a cold. I need to conserve my energy.

#96

I’ve decided to work from bed today.

#95

“Let me be alone with my bad attitude.”

#93

“Let’s start by going around and saying our names and an uninteresting but amusingly presented fact about ourselves.”

#91

Getting through the morning took a full day’s worth of effort.

#88

“But I don’t like writing!”

“Few people do, bud.”

I mean, aren’t y’all tired?
