Writing practice

Working on a short story and researching markets. Read an article with my breakfast (coffee, grapefruit, brie and crackers) about yoga and activism that nailed how I feel about writing practice, yoga practice, running, and just trying to be a better human being: "...sometimes what feels like a setback is really preparation for a big leap forward...progress isn't a neat linear path." That's pretty much what my novel is about. :)
