I really must learn to make more time for my novel. I have been avoiding working on it for almost a week because of life stuff. I have been working, having fun chemotherapy jitters from last week's doctor's visit (more about that in my next post) but no more. Here are some goals I am setting for myself:
Work on my book baby everyday.
Even if it is just a quick "check in" in and out in ten minutes or so. I will work on my manuscript every day. No exceptions. And if I forget or time gets away from me. I will make it up the next day.
Schedule a longer session.
At least once a week I should find some time for a long session, like at lest an hour of uninterrupted time. Like this Sunday afternoon I should be free. So my book and I have a date to make. I know my book will be there, so I must try hard not to be late. Try. Try. Try.
Remember mornings are gold.
I am am just about always free before 9 a.m. even when classes start on the 18th of (oh goodness!) this month. I am also most creative in the morning so this is a great time to hash out and edit my book. I do have free time, I just need to learn to use it for more than adding to my Pinterest boards.
Email my editor with questions.
I have been putting this one off to accumulate more questions to ask her but I realize the further I get a way from when she edited the less she will likely remember about it (the details anyway). So I need to get those questions to her asap.
Well, that is all I have for now. Talk to you all on Monday.
