Like when someone is coming to my house, THAT'S when the cleaning magic happens :) When it comes to my writing, it's one of the many awesome things about having a writing partner - I don't want to let her down! Having someone to keep you motivated is really great. <br /><br />Thank you for all the encouragement!!!

It is so hard when after a full day of commitments and demands and all the joy and exhaustion that brings, to do something that isn't just completely vegging out. But I get it. I want to be studying more. And because I don't have an actual deadline, I find it harder to do. I think about to do lists, I spend gobs of time writing them out. It feels so good to check things off, but it seems as though they are always there.<br />I love that you are doing this, Sarah. Can't wait to see where it leads you!

The hardest thing about being a writer is that the very thing you do your writing ON, is the one thing that has a world of distractions on it. After reading your post, I gave my self a two hour virtual radio silence: no twitter, no checking blog, no texting, no internet cruising, and OMG I wrote a scene! It's a good scene! After 2 hours I moved the laundry, filled the dishwasher, reacquainted myself with Twitter, and wrote this comment. I think I'm heading back to my cave now...<br /><br />Thank you for a great post!<br />MonicaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696657560348525536noreply@blogger.com
