Day 4 of my “366 Somedays” and today was a reality hit. I’m sure there will be additional hits as the year goes by, but I didn’t really expect one this soon. Day 1 was exciting – I set-up my blog and Facebook pages, I announced my plan to the world, I received some great feedback. Day 2 I worked on the outline of the book I will write this month and the excitement from Day 1 lingered. Yesterday, Day 3, still felt pretty invigorating. Today, Day 4, I had a morning commitment which put me out of my routine. I normally write in the wee hours of the morning, but I couldn’t do that today because of the meeting. As I prepared to head out the door, I thought about what else I wanted to get done throughout the day: some bookkeeping needs for our business, prepare some packages for mailing, further work unpacking from our recent move. Then it hit me – I needed to make time to write! I’ve committed to writing a book in November. That won’t happen unless I … write!
So, even though it’s not 5:00 a.m., even though I’ve already had more coffee than should be allowed in one day, even though my little dogs are looking at me wondering why we haven’t yet gone on our walk, and even though this is not my normal writing routine, I WILL write!
Keep on reading, thinking, doing, and writing.
