I’ve always been interested in writing a novel, but I’m not very good at sticking with it. I also know I don’t have a talent for creating plots and stories. When we read sentences that only have plain meaning, we can get bored easily.

Something interesting or exciting is mandatory to include in sentences. It also takes knowledge to describe or depict something in writing. Time and passion to focus on it are also essential.

Tonight, I installed VS Code and the Novel-Writer extension. Even though I was toying with it, I still feel like I won’t be a good writer. But I still believe this could be interesting.

My summer vacation is about to end.
I forgot how to work.
I have lost my passion and motivation for the work.
I’m looking forward to having a year-end vacation.

My father-in-law is over 70, and gradually, he looks to have some indication of a major neurocognitive disorder.
It’s very concerning.

We must anticipate some bad turning points in our lives.
No one can live permanently, and our health is going to deteriorate.
I want to live with my family forever together with good health, but it’s not possible.

Summer is already over halfway through. Half of August is gone.
And so is my summer vacation.

My submission for Cisco Live was declined this time.
I have mixed feelings about it. I don’t have to spend a lot of time preparing anymore, but at the same time, I missed an opportunity to work abroad for a short period.

Cisco’s stock price has dropped significantly.
Still, I believe things will be fine. At least, the company’s performance factor being used for bonus calculation has been better than average over the last 10 years.

The 40s are a tough time.
The situation feels like it’s gradually heading in a downward direction. At least, there are signs that it could be getting worse.
I’m not in short supply of anything, but it takes effort to maintain my happiness. It’s important to clearly define what happiness means to me.
