I may need to work my way slowly up to that though :) Laurel Cremanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843349903450056607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005730368673864678.post-30687892558361762912013-03-09T10:57:54.387-05:002013-03-09T10:57:54.387-05:00Lol!

I would love to be able to write full time but sadly that is just not on the table at the moment, but I've got hopes for it in the future :)Laurel Cremanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843349903450056607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005730368673864678.post-20706053796600898042013-03-09T09:38:35.625-05:002013-03-09T09:38:35.625-05:00really well put - you're mirroring my life at ...really well put - you're mirroring my life at the moment, i think the old saying - how do you eat an elephant? one chunk at a time - sums it up perfectly, achievable, bite size goals to keep you motivated.

Or producing a set number of words every single week...etc. I work 2 jobs and often have weeks where I'm doing almost 70 hours out of my house, not to mention I have to sleep sometime. Those weeks I barely get on-line, let alone to FB or other blogging meccas. <br /><br />I try to not judge myself too harshly, though I gag in jealousy when authors write about their "hard day" that started out with breakfast and coffee on the balcony, then a leisurely few hours spent blogging before lunch, then writing all afternoon. Hell, if I had that kind of time I could produce 3 times what I do now! But that has to wait until all of my kids are out of college and we've paid off all that we're still borrowing for them to go. Sigh.<br /><br />I saw a cartoon that had a woman lying in bed, sick with the flu. And the caption above her smiling face said: "At last! A reason to do nothing!"Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005730368673864678.post-4840927766930317452013-03-07T14:53:21.269-05:002013-03-07T14:53:21.269-05:00Thanks Liv!

I usually hate how to lists when it comes to writing b/c they tend to be less than useful, but I hope this helps someone, since there's no assembly required :)Laurel Cremanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843349903450056607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005730368673864678.post-28662602602068482312013-03-06T13:00:02.826-05:002013-03-06T13:00:02.826-05:00Thanks for this post.
