Hey, hey, hey! Don’t forget to download your ebook of ‘Paint Chips’! It’s only $3.03 on Amazon and $3.99 on Barnes & Noble. Remember 50 cents from each e-book downloaded goes to The Manasseh Project …but only until Sunday, June 30!
I have 35 days. 35 days to edit draft #4 of this novel. 35 days to rewrite 75% of it. 35 days to edit draft #5. 35 days to (hopefully) do a draft #6.
35 days.
And in that time I have to
Clean my house
Do laundry
Cook
Play with kiddos
Drink coffee
Be a wife
Go to church
Be a friend
Promote ‘Paint Chips’
Plan for a presentation on Human Trafficking
Drink more coffee
Go to the beach
I’m not complaining. I can totally do all that. It’s exhausting. But do-able. Everybody has that much on their plates.
But there are some things that I don’t have time for
Obsessing over bad ratings/reviews
Rearranging my pantry
Wondering if so-and-so likes me
Fretting over my waist-line
Seeking revenge
Worrying if coffee is really stunting my growth
Ain’t NOBODY got time for that.
So. If you hear me fretting or worrying or neglecting my coffee, would you please remind me that I’ve got 35 days and counting down. And that I need to keep my focus on the things that matter?
Okay. Enough of this. I’ve got a purple pen to kill.
