With all the writing I've been doing, I realized I was neglecting other things. I'm learning to balance writing with relationships. Both very important to me. One trick I've found to help me finish my word count earlier in the day is to leave the document I'm working on open. Then I can think about it, and add a sentence or two when I have the time. Speaking of time, the one year old boy I babysit just woke up from his afternoon nap, so time to go. But my story will still be waiting for me.
Hooray! Love to see a Tuesday Talley. Best of luck on next week's goals!! =)
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the relationships... my problem is work - which is sad - cause it's not even something I enjoy doing, like writing!
