Focus. {January: Morning Routine} #ROW80 New Year. New resolutions. Bah. Humbug. I am over resolutions. I never even last three days with those things. And they are always the same ones (write so many words; lose weight; stop drinking pop). And by February I hate myself for failing. And then I sink rapidly into the […]
It is NOT Christmas Season yet. The calendar is NOT the boss of me.
It is NOT Christmas Season yet. Or at least, it doesn’t have to be. While most people in the U.S. are running around crazy prepping for The Holidays, my husband and I are struggling to get through Birthday Season. Our daughter’s birthday actually fell ON Thanksgiving this year. And my birthday is exactly two weeks […]
The Story Bible 2: Briefs & Summaries – #NaNoPrep #NaNoWriMo
The Story Bible 2: Briefs & Summaries In a previous post I introduced the idea of The Story Bible, and explained that I have broken mine down into five various sections. The Story Bible Part 1: Vows & Goals The Story Bible Part2: Briefs & Summaries The Story Bible Part 3: Plots & Outlines The […]
The Story Bible 1: Vows & Goals – #NaNoPrep #NaNoWriMo
The Story Bible 1: Vows & Goals We are in the midst of NaNo Prep and the insanity is almost tangible. I have been cruising around the NaNoWriMo forums, making a nuisance of myself, adding thoughts and opinions like the Easter Bunny drops jelly beans. More than yapping, however, I have been picking up lots […]
Magic Eight Ball – #ROW80 #NaNoPrep
I have a Magic Eight Ball The Magic Eight Ball sits upon my desk. It used to belong to my son, but almost-22-year-olds know everything and no longer need magic in their lives. That’s fine, dude. Whatever. You loved that thing back when you were ten, but I don’t mind storing it, along with all the other non-magical items you […]
Happy Banned Books Week!
Happy Banned Books Week! I don’t think I will ever get over the horror I felt when I first learned that people actually burned books. Or that books are denied to people depending upon geographic location. Or that the freedom to write words is still denied to many people in 2015. Celebrating the Freedom to […]
Autumnal New Beginnings
I have been thinking a lot about New Beginnings. I am a big fan of Clean Slates, Fresh Starts, and New Beginnings. Mondays provide this feeling on a weekly basis, and I awaken every week with a sense of renewed vigor to pay special attention to my schedule. The first day of any month offers […]
Quiet! Shut Your Face!
Quiet! Shut Your Face! 1. We are at my sister’s house hanging out. I say something silly, and my sister laughs because, honestly, it was pretty ludicrous. I laugh with her, then turn to my silent hubz, and shout, “Quiet! Shut your face!” Which sets my sister to laughter all over again. My hubz looks […]
GTfD – Getting Things fkn Done
GTfD – Getting Things fkn Done I am in love with lists. And also with productivity tips, ways to work faster, efficiency, sticky-notes, office supplies, and anything that helps me avoid actually getting anything accomplished. GTfD was created for me. There is an actual, for realz, system entitled Getting Things Done, by David Allen, which […]
Monday, #ROW80, + #NaNoCamp
Hooray for Monday! And hooray for the first Monday of the month! I guess hooray, too, for the first Monday of NaNo Camp, although that’s neither here nor there. NaNo is based more on the numerical date than on what day of the week it is. The fact that it’s Monday means way less than the fact that […]
