A Blank Page Can Be So Intimidating

Or a blank screen. I have just a teeny bit left of my pirate chapter book to wrap up before my rough draft will be complete. The second draft and all drafts to follow are my favorites. I like to edit and tweak stories a lot more than I like writing them for the first time because I have something to cut and polish.

It’s really just a matter of connecting the dots. I don’t know if I’m being lazy or if I just need to turn up my pirate music to get in the right frame of mind. I also have a lot going on.

I’m on day 3 of Declutter Like a Mother challenge, I’m tackling decluttering the boys’ rooms on my own, picking up where I left off with Makeover Your Mornings (Time management is something I NEED in my life), and Christmas break is over starting tomorrow, so I’m also preparing my kiddo’s homeschooling schedule, etc., etc.

It may sound like I’m all over the place (and that’s a little true), but I have goals that I’m steadily working towards.

My Goals:

DeclutteringTime ManagementMaking more quality family timeSimplifying our homeschoolSpending more time outdoors. Prioritize my writing (books, blog posts, research, social media, etc.)

These are my goals for the year and I have steps in place to meet these goals. They’re a work in progress. You can read about making your own goals here.

I hope 2022 is an amazing year for all of you. God Bless.
