A new plan for a new year!

This is the first week of a new "work" system for me. I set up a different kind of schedule because, let's face it, writers can't just spend two hours every morning writing then go have tea with friends, or, more realistically do the laundry, grocery shopping and vacuuming. We have promotion, graphic creation, social media, "the future" and all kinds of other things to figure out. And once we figure it out, we have to make a plan and implement that plan.
For about a decade I resisted. LOL But I learned as many do in a movie about aliens coming to earth...resistance is futile. LOL
So I evaluated everything I could, might, must and should do for my career and the list is long and frightening. But I've never been a coward...Oh, okay, yes, I'm pretty much a coward.I won't go outside in the dark and I genuinely believe aliens walk among us. So, yeah, it takes me a few weeks to warm up to people. I do not want to accidentally befriend someone from Xornia-4. But I've never been afraid of hard work, especially if I can create a schedule for that work.
I love a good schedule.
I'm telling you all this because I think it's important for readers and writers and the families of writers to realize that most writers' lives went from casual (and, yeah, I'm gonna say it) fun to a boatload of overwhelm. I can't even tell you how many new things I have to learn.
Most of us are up for the challenge. I know a lot of writers who are computer geeks who love doing the graphics, creating websites and blogs. I'm happy to learn. :)
So even though I resisted all this, I'm seeing the fun side.
Now, let's see if I'm still sane February 16, 2018. LOL
