Yippeeeeeeeeeee! Day Two!

Yes, I'm a little excited about writing two days in a row. I have no idea what to write about...other than the fact that I'm writing. (Had to stop right now and read my baby a few books - lots of starting and stopping)!
I've always had a problem staying focused on something. (Even before I had a very active 13-month-old). I have too many thoughts in my head and can't seem to concentrate on any one idea, project, or goal. That needs to change.  A schedule would definitely help. Something even remotely resembling a schedule would help!
My goal now is to finish the first draft of a novel I've been working on (off and on - mostly OFF) for several years.
I will just have to learn to write during naptimes (when she actually naps) and nights and like now, when she is playing by herself for a few minutes. It will take some getting used to, but I will just have to keep my eyes on the goal.

    And you're right, a schedule will definitely help--especially when things get so busy.

    Good luck!

  5. Keep it up! I'm a mom too, and have made writing every day a goal (even if only for 10 minutes!) this year.
    It has increased my productivity and also my creative flow--I find I can jump more easily into my writing than before.
    It's important to allow yourself the time to write.
