Life keeps getting in the way

Parent’s evening at school, dentist and orthodontist appointments. Spring coming and the need to sort out the garden. Housework, children demanding time and attention. Cats, shopping, furniture delivery and collection. Cooking, cleaning, spending time with friends. Sleep? What’s that?

It all adds up and now and then it all lands together and derails any writing time I have. It feels like a regular occurrence that this happens over a few days at the moment, and I get out of the writing groove.Once that habit has broken, it takes time to get back into it again. I feel like I’m starting again every week, and my targeted word count is slipping further and further behind.

Discipline is needed. I can excuse each day, I can write off a day as lost for writing, or I can just sit down and write. So, I’m going to do exactly that. Turning off facebook, opening Elois and pondering exploring new places.

How many ponies would I need to carry gear for a month long expedition of four people, into uncharted territory?
