A few days ago, my mother called up to see if I was okay. When I told her I was fine, she said she had been getting concerned because I hadn't posted anything on the blog for a while.
I laughed and said it was because I had so many writing deadlines. As I mentioned earlier, the month of June was one of those bizarre "perfect storms" in which every outlet I write for had deadlines which coalesced in the same month.
Well, I'm done.
Seriously, I just finished my latest Love Inspired romance novel, tentatively entitled "The Animal Lover," and sent it to my agent.
I managed to also complete the other six articles and four columns I had due in June as well. I still have a column due this Friday, but since that falls in July, technically it doesn't "count" for June.
Whenever I have multiple pressing deadlines like this, I call it "knocking down bowling pins." So as not to get overwhelmed, I just knock down those pins one by one until they're done.
Anyway, that's why I've been so quiet on the blog – just busy. I'm inclined just to take the day off and do nothing but drink iced tea. What do you think?
I say for sure you need that ice tea break especially since you have been like a one armed wallpaper hanger.
ReplyDeleteFeet up, iced tea firmly in hand, almost heaven...
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll. Don't stop, just switch to doing another activity that you enjoy doing and is as far away from the keyboard as possible!! I'd suggest taking the dog for a long walk or spending some downtime in your garden as a transitional break, but keep moving. Once you stop it's hard to get back up. Congrats on the superlative writing accomplishment during the month.

I would, except it's slated to be 107F here today. This heatwave has been insane.
