Good day for the end of May

I spent my day writing using the timer for segments of 24 minutes. My goal each time was to hit 400 words in that time. Some of the segments were under, many were close, and one was way over. I also did a bit of time not using the timer. End result: I got a … Continue reading Good day for the end of May

Publishing priority… but today, painting

I was up way too late again last night even though I’d been so tired. I was trying to finish watching a webinar replay that I felt was really hitting home for me. I didn’t want to go to sleep with it only half in my brain. So I stayed up to finish it. This … Continue reading Publishing priority… but today, painting

Follow-up

I would have preferred for this week to have been more productive. I’ve been taken off on side projects that need to get done and appointments. I’m looking forward to making different choices over the next couple of days. I’m still not sure about the commitment I was writing about yesterday, though I did have … Continue reading Follow-up

Choice vs. commitment

I often write here on my blog about choice and making a decision to do something. I’m discovering that the choice is really the easy part. There’s another step and it is so much harder. That is commitment. It’s one thing to make a decision over and over for a short term like to get … Continue reading Choice vs. commitment

Quick to play

Added two more ACEOs (baseball trading card size art) to my website today. I’m hoping I can get into a rhythm and keep up a good pace. I want to work through my smaller work and then get to the larger. In the meanwhile, I need to get back to creating the larger work. I … Continue reading Quick to play

Accountability #6

I added some art to my Whispered Voices website today. It seemed to take forever to get the first ACEO done, but then I was able to get some up faster. I also added a new magnet. It’s a small start, but a start. It moves me closer. I was too tired last night, so … Continue reading Accountability #6

Resistance today, wonder tomorrow

I’m facing resistance today. I’d like to say that I’m winning, but I’m not. I’ve done some planning, writing, laundry, watering the yard, cooking for Merlin, and even got in a short nap. But I still feel resistance. I don’t think I’ll get to my word goal for the week unless I decide to go … Continue reading Resistance today, wonder tomorrow

Accountability #5

My planning started today. I haven’t had much of a chance to really get down to it, but I’ve been letting ideas roll around my head. I had a lawn to mow and shopping to do. Tomorrow I’ll have to cook some for Merlin, but thankfully that’s food I can throw into the pressure cooker … Continue reading Accountability #5

Possible steps

This last week, I was out at the Licensing Expo to check it out. This was my research year. Now, I have a whole bunch of information to review and lists to make. I will have to decide on things to do and things not to do. But at least I’m aware of more possibilities. … Continue reading Possible steps

Everything

I had a really good day. It started with a fantastic call with my creativity coach. We dig out another and very important layer of my mindset. Then lots of walking. Lots of walking. I feel like that’s all I’ve done for the last few days. But while I was on a walking adventure, I … Continue reading Everything
