Week 3 - Distracted
Explicit content warning
08/24/20 • 14 min
I wanted to have something brilliant this week.
I wanted to talk about setting up a new routine, getting into a rhythm, and how the work on projects is just soaring by at lightspeed. Those are the things I wanted to talk about, but I can't.
The truth is, I've been distracted. A lot.
But don't we all find ourselves distracted most days? Even if just for a moment? And how do we get through that?
How do we move forward from distraction?
Join me for this week's step in my 52-week journey to make something happen in these Confessions of a Working Writer.

Week 2 - Slow is Steady, Steady is Fast
I was planning on talking about setting a new morning routine in my new home this week.
Reality had different plans. Moving was chaotic, setting up my office took longer than I thought, and I just didn't feel like a new routine was a priority for me. Honestly, most of life is a balancing act between order and chaos.
As a creative, I tend to prefer chaos. But how in the world do you get things done like that? Simple, you remember one simple truth. Slow is steady, and steady is fast.

Week 4 - The Lesson of Back Pain
Last week I threw my back out. Yep, the whole thing. Done and laid up on the couch, barely able to knock out the work on my plate and making no progress moving forward.
It was frustrating.
I wanted to blast through the pain, to conquer it, and move forward like I used to. But backs are a funny thing, and you can't force them better.
In the end, you just have to do what you can and learn the lesson of back pain.
Join me for another Confession as I enter Week 4 of my 52-week journey to make something happen on Season 2 of Confessions of a Working Writer.
