 How does a busy writer make sure to have dinner on the table when they spent so much time lost in their imaginary world? Slow-cooker! What's the #1 sign I've been cooking at home too much this past year? I broke the knob off my old and faithful slow-cooker.Mr. Munder to the rescue!

February #MonthlyMotivation

 Reminding myself. No matter how many plans I make or how great they are. This is what matters.

Pushing through and finding the right incentive.

 Goals. Goals. Goals. January used to be all about resolutions, but the last several years the buzzword seemed to have shifted over to goals. Big goals. Small goals. Stretch goals. Maintenance goals.

Part of my embracing uncertainty in 2021 - setting #healthyboundaries in my life - and as hard as it was to make the decision, accepting nonpayment of royalties for an extended period of time wasn't mentally, financially, or emotionally a very healthy place to be. Just checked my Amazon Author Page and yep, it's official.
