Get On Top of That Horse
I don’t know about other writers, but when it comes deadline time, things start piling up. Things being laundry, email, chores, administrative tasks, blog posting, other writing. It all moves to the back of the stovetop and collects dust as I plow through the end of the current project.
I’m not proud of this.
But I accept it. And that’s the first step.
The week after a project’s conclusion is the time I get back on top of the horse. I rein in the laundry monster, put my house back to rights and start shoveling my way through my task list. This is my current state.
This week I spent far too much time wrangling email. But the good news, I’m making progress and every little bit helps. Sometimes it feels like those projects on the back burner will never move up. But all it takes it one good day. One day that blazes with progress. One day where I knock items off the to do list and I’m raring to go again.
Thank goodness today was one of those days.
