Still Writing

I was informed yesterday that if I’m going to have a blog I have to write it in it every day. Well, I was doing that, or close to it. And then I realized I needed to generate more words every day. And since I’m a temporary single mom, work a full time job, and run a house by myself with literally no social life, I decided I needed to cut out in other areas in order to make those words.

I couldn’t cut time away from mini-me. Not acceptable. She’s 8 and wants/needs attention. I’m already the World’s Lousiest Housekeeper, so I really couldn’t afford to take even more time from straightening the house. That would have pretty much meant NO housework at all (and we gotta have food, laundry and cat-poop-scooping). Wasn’t happening at the job—I do layout and design. So, not there.

What I came away with was less time online. Yeah, I joined SecondLife, and that was just crazy since I ended up getting way involved in that. So now that’s relegated to only a few nights a week, and ONLY after words. (Yeah we’ll see how well I do that).

So, I cut back on Twitter, Facebook, and here. I’m still working on updating the website, as well as getting the Ancilliary stuff done. But when it comes down to it, the words are what’s most important, and I still got a lot of them to get done before I’m done with the current project.

And so with that, it’s time for the morning: shower, fix lunch for me and mini, get her up, dressed, teeth brushed, school stuff packed, breakfast ready, morning commute, and then full day at work…
