Read Jocelyn K. Glei's blog post, "How to Feel Progress."
Highlights:
· Our goals have to be things we make happen for ourselves—not things we wait to be given.
· Overwhelm is a powerful opponent of productivity—but if you’re clear-eyed in your priorities you should be able to fend it off.
· Write yourself a new script—one that tells you what you secretly know: That you can do this.
· Speak to yourself as you would a friend. Today is a new day. Today can be the day you write.
· Writing is a practice. The more you do it, the better you’ll become at getting words on the page.
· I want to see myself moving forward in a way that tracking words or page count is not going to give me.
· Your work is a gift from you to yourself. Even when it’s messy, even when it’s not yet nearly what you want it to become.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
