I have been focused on writing the last couple of months, so much, that I have almost forgotten about the other things in my life. It is a constant brain tug (my own term) each morning trying to decide what I should do. Clean the house, cook dinner, do laundry, etc. I could go on for pages of all the things I should be doing. But then I think of my dream and how badly I want it, I feel like I have put it on the back burner for so many years that I am scared if I do that again, the dream will be gone.
What I have decided. February is an extremely busy month. Abigail turns 7 this week plus she has two dance competitions this month, which means tons more dance practices. Needless to say February must be devoted to her, and my whole family. So I will be taking February off, sort of.
I am going to enter the Writer’s Digest your story contest.
It is due February 10th so I will work on it sparingly until then, making sure it isn’t taking too much of my time. I actually started it on the flight home from NYC. I know exactly what I want to do. After I enter the contest I will post the short story here.
I need to go get my daughter’s 7th birthday present! (Tear, they grow up too fast!) Back to my mothering duties, for now!
