Wow. I'd forgotten how long it's been since my last post.
Well, so much for good intentions. The class started last Thursday, January 12, and I didn't have my initial 10,000 words. In fact, I still don't--but I did write 1,275 this evening. Hoorah! Can't say they're necessarily quality words . . . The point is, I got them down.
Business is going well. Extremely well at the moment. In fact, I'm overwhelmed again. But instead of spending a couple of hours catching up on client assignments, I chose to make my writing a priority.
I have to make my writing a priority. Otherwise, it will never happen.
Efficiency experts say that you've got an 85-95% chance of accomplishing whatever you make your top priority. That's definitely been the case with me. Whatever I decide I absolutely have to get done, I do. Not saying that I can let my paying assignments slide. I just have to put my writing first.
Then, I can let the feeling of accomplishment carry me through the rest of my tasks.
