I'm trying...

Hmmm... motivation seems to have slipped a little. Or maybe it's just a lot of 'clutter' getting in the way. You know, life, work, family... LOL. I have dabbled on the odd evening, but not making much progress. Seem to be very tired a lot of the time. I think it's the mid-winter doldrums. Determined to kick myself out of it. I have deadlines, real and self imposed.

I will do better, I will do better....

And then it was July

So, it didn't go so well. It was like a whole bunch of 'life' was waiting in the wings for me to try and write. So, I didn't reach the 50k.

I was very disappointed, but delighted that I had written SOMETHING for the first time in months. Delighted too that not achieving my goal made me stop and think about my future as a writer.

I've been dabbling way too much for way too long. I have to take this seriously. I have to give it priority and so...

I have set myself a series of tasks, writing tasks. These have deadlines, and involve me writing for submission and to present to other people. I have a timetable and am working towards it. I have missed too many opportunities by not doing these things.

I've had a hectic time at work, and with family, and am very tired. But I'm battling on. I'm going to do it this time.
