Before I get into the meat of “how I do it all” I just wanted to add this to last week’s tip…
IF you really, really want to get a lot of writing done, get a dog to lays on your feet.
In January, we got a new puppy–1/2 Scottie, 1/2 Pomeranian. He was tiny and cute, but he is everything you hear about the challenges of terriers. He gets in the trash. He JUST got house broken within the last few weeks. He is very active. He runs down the street when I let him out, and he’s just starting to come back when I call.
Despite this, he has one good quality. Jake lays on my feet as I write, and I LOVE it. He’s warm (necessary for cold Montana days), cuddly, and it’s sooooo sweet. So, sometimes when I feel like getting up and doing anything else besides writing, I don’t. I work a little longer. I sit here and get stuff done, because Jake is so comfortable, and I can’t disrupt the pup!
I’m looking forward to your series on time management…I envy your ability to do it ALL. I know there’s a way, I just haven’t figured out how to write consistently AND homeschool.
The puppy trick sounds like a good one… ;O)
Btw, I’m really enjoying Shadow of Treason…I think even better than Valley of Betrayal!
Okay, I made it a priority to finish S of T today and it was sooo good, Tricia! Thanks for sharing it with me and including me in your blog tour. I’ll be recommending it to friends! And can’t wait till Whisper of Freedom comes out! Are you writing it right now, or completely done with it?
Just curious!
I’m THRILLED YOU LOVE IT! A Whisper of Freedom is DONE. It’s off to the printer soon.
If you loved the first two, I think you’ll enjoy #3 too!
