A Month of Excuses!
If I had a dollar for every excuse I made not to write over the past month… Well, I’d have a lot of dollars.
- Work Deadlines
- Kid Commitments
- Home Owner Obligations
- Wifely Responsibilities
- To Tired
- I Need to Exercise
- To Much Computer Time
- I Have to Cook
- THE LIST GOES ON
No More Excuses!
They say that you are more likely to reach your goals if you write them down and share them with others. Unfortunately, that didn’t work for me… I missed my writing deadline of March 31st (today). But, I don’t give up so easily. I’m setting a new deadline and this time it will stick. Come hell or high water! I will have the first draft of Everdal done by May 31, 2021. I hope each and every one of you reading this, will hold me to it. Comment below… message me… email me (ninasodenbooks@gmail.com)… Tweet me @Nina_Soden… tag me on Instagram Nina_Soden… just find a way to let me know you are pushing me to reach this goal. Sometimes it takes outside inspiration and motivation. Sometimes it just takes finding an extra thirty minutes in a day. I think I need a little of both. Ok, no more slaking… I’m going to go put in an hour of writing and try to get another 1,000 words in before I stop for the night.
