There's so much to do!!
I don’t have enough time!!! Arggg!!
Are you experiencing similar rants?
Having difficulty spreading your precious time over too many tasks?
It’s hellish, isn’t it?
I used to think if I organized my day better, planned ahead, then magically I'd find hours left over. ahhh - not so much!
I try and keep up with my Triber group every day because they matter and have supported me in the past. Then there’s all my twitter friends who I never seem to be able to spend enough time with. Of course the blogs need to get out. And even though there are times when I just can’t get them written, I really do try and have new content as often as possible.
Networking has to take some precedence. I mean these are friends. Many have become good friends. So ignoring my e-mails is unthinkable. But I do admit that some days I steal my heart and delete many without opening, mostly loops that I used to enjoy and now have no time for. We won't even mention facebook and goodreads. Places I'd love to be able to browse. Damnation!
It’s so sad, but what’s a girl to do? The books have to get written. The editing has to get done, formatting, promoting, and - and…
Prioritize Right?
Sigh……….right!
Anyone else have the same trouble? Have you come up with any ideas that might help...share...please!!!

It's a chronic situation and it can become overwhelming. So much to do; not enough time.

I'm with you. And Leigh is right, it's overwhelming. Promo has taken over my life and I keep reaching out and am still not sure it's doing what it's supposed to. Am swamped with booksignings locally(that's a great thing) but this wk. am in charge of a HUGE yard sale for the Humane Society and writing or I should say the not writing is wearing thin on my nerves. I wish I could not clean the house, not do community work, not talk to anyone, not eat(need to lose a few more pounds anyway)for a week, but just simply and to my heart's content write. I swear that by next wk. I will have me organized again and make writing the priority and let eveything else suffer for awhile. So I feel your pain and anxiety. Been there, done it and am still doing it. Guess we all have to hang in there and hope it all comes out in the wash. A very dirty wash at the moment. LOL
Hey Beverly,I'm totally with you...no eating (great idea but my hips would hate you), washing clothes or dishes(another great idea but my hubby would hate me), or feeling that just because you promised in a weak moment to volunteer to do something doesn't mean you MEANT it!! But since you have already committed to your yard sale, I do hope it's profitable!!

Thanks, hopefully tomorrow I'll chat with you on the Sizzling Summer Reads. Good luck. I did it on July 6th all day and had a blast. Loved it. Met a lot of great readers and authors.
Believe!
This is not only a blog for authors, it's for anyone who's interested in what goes into writing a good book and then getting it published. Questions and comments are very much appreciated.
Hugs,
