Feeling inspired at 12:34

I'm writing this on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at 12:34, strictly by coincidence.

Firstly, I'd like to mention that 12:34 is a lucky time for me. I won't get into the nitty-gritty (I just learned the origin of that phrase, actually, and yikes) of how it has come to be lucky for me, but you'll just have to trust me.

I had a show last night, that was interesting for many reasons, but aside from that, we played well, which I really needed. We got home late, and I've been going to bed far too late this week for how early I get up in the mornings, so I actually got out of bed today around 11:30, which is not normal for me whatsoever. Oh well I guess my body needed the rest.

I then reheated some food from yesterday's lunch and made a yummy latte, all while watching Brooke Averick's podcast, Obsessed with Brooke Averick. And oh wow, I love her so much. However, Let me give a bit of context here.

Brooke recently started a book club, and it's important to mention here that she is an avid reader, and she is one of my most favorite kinds of readers, in fact. She is someone who give great reviews and suggestions, to the point that when she speaks about a book, I get so inspired to read.

She is also writing a book, which I hope gets published so that I can read it. Friends of mine know that I want to delve into a career in the publishing industry, and I even have a book idea myself. Just the fact that I'm writing this post is due to Brooke reminding me of how much I want to write and be involved in the industry.

Anyway, I began structuring my book and fleshing out characters several months ago by now, which was really fun to do, so I hope I can maintain that interest.

I have to add that at this moment in my life, I am getting hyperfixated on hobbies, but I'd say in a somewhat unhealthy way.

I absolutely love being fixated on a good book, which is a fixating that doesn't feel unhealthy, but I haven't found one recently that I've been addicted too. Brooke helped me get excited about books again, so I'm going to find one to start, and I hope it's captivating because I really need a book to do that for me right now.

I have a few options to pick from, so once I settle on one, I will give an update here.

I have a few things I need to do today, but I plan on spending a bit of time after writing on finding a book to start.

I'm glad I was able to write this morning, especially at 12:34.
