Pledging

So this is my pledge: over the next year, there will be nothing extra beyond the day-job and writing (and the menstruation anthology, of course...).
No organizing, no reviewing, no interviewing. 
I NEED to concentrate on getting this book of essays done. 
My mum was a workaholic and I've inherited some of her habits, though I think she'd think I was a slouch. 
I really get a lot of energy working in/through community, but it sometimes leaves me with next to no ACTUAL WRITING TIME. 
So: I'm going to be withdrawing a little.

Not from social media or this blog, because I'd feel isolated, but from some of extra unpaid work of the writing life.
