Monday hit me with a sledgehammer. The 9 to 5 bled every ounce of patience from my being as I sat in an endless string of meetings. I pushed agendas forward, keep participants on topic, fostered problem-solving on the fly, supported alternate solutions to problems, cut off long-winded tangents, redirected the group’s focus towards reaching our goal, and encouraged everyone. Hoorah. Then I started my actual work.
Work progresses on the house project list. The boards, cleats, and trim pieces for the linen closet have been cut to size and sport a white primer coat. The contractor refinishing the stairs reached the stage where he stained the risers and treads and achieved a phenomenal match to the original spindles and banister. I have windows and doors open and fans running to dispel the fumes and hasten drying times. My bed is calling my name and reminding me I need a good night’s sleep before I can tackle tomorrow’s schedule.
Even with the hustle and bustle, I didn’t forget my number one priority. My habits are strong, and writing a little every day is my secret weapon. Yesterday I wrote 208 words.
Did you write yesterday?

Yes, I actually did pick up a pen yesterday, Jo. Even after a very busy day, it felt wonderful to get back to my WIP.

I did write yesterday, Jo. In fact, I finished the short story challenge from Team Writer. The assignment was 3,000 words but I finished the first draft at 11,000. HA!
Now for the editing… and figuring out the genre.
You inspire me everyday!

Wow, Nancy. You really took your short story to the next level. Congratulations. 👍 I started Kate’s short story challenge and then got side-tracked by too many things. Good luck with your editing, and I can’t wait to find out what genre you decide on. 💕📚
