This week I had a bit of an epithany. I realised that I needed to prioritise things. I enjoy writing and get cranky when I feel like I haven't achieved what I should.
So Monday morning I decided that from now on the writing came first. So each morning, after the school run, I've sat down at my computer and done the writing first and left the paperwork for after. I was happily shocked by how fast the words were done some mornings when other distractions were put to one side.
The end result is that i'm 5k+ into a new story which will hopefully be a novella of 25kish and I've handed in the final TOC for the For the Night is Dark anthology coming out next month from Crystal Lake.
It's been a great week.
Oh, and another thing have found useful motivation wise; I've been printing the day's pages at the end of each session. It's been very encouraging to see the manuscript grow day on day.
