First time I tried this, I did awesome.
Second time I tried this, it was terrible-- Murphey's Law kicked in with everything from nagging parents to internet connection issues to viruses.
I took a break last weekend... but this coming Weekend (April 4) I am going at it full force again.
Anyone wanting to write, at any time... anything (doesn't have to be hubs)... join me here.
"It's a brand new day and the sun is high
All the birds are singing that you're gonna die!"
It's a beautiful morning and I'm diving right into it.
Cups of coffee: 1
Words: 0
Sanity: 98.2%
How is everyone doing?
Woohoo-- I am psyched to get some great inspiration and creativity rolling this week!
All my client projects are done & up to date! This means that most of my writing for the next few days is MINE-- my own projects... my hubs & my fiction.
I LOVE THAT!!!
So I sent out what I needed to this morning, did my E-mails, put in a few bids on Elance, and got 2 pre-written hubs published.
So technically I haven't written anything new today-- but it is a beeeee-UUUUtiful position to be in because I have the weekend free & clear now.
I just ate lunch & helped the kids with some homework, and I am ready now to dive into getting some hubs written on Beltane! Gosh, I LOVE writing about holidays!
How's everyone else faring? The weekend has barely begun!
Progress Report:
Cups of coffee: 3
Words: 0
Sanity: holding! :-)
For your inspiration:
Derailed by exhaustion, dogs, overnight guests of my daughter's being picked up, and a crazy sense of frustration that nothing I'm getting down is worth anything. I wrote and promptly deleted around 500 words. So, nothing new.
I think, however, that after a nap, I'm going to try again. Still two full and one partial weekend days left for hope and effort to prevail!
I feel asleep after dinner. Good rest.
Also a friend picked me up to go to the garden center having a "plant black Friday" sale -- got some new plants :-)
I think I'm going to have some herbal tea right now, finish up what I was working on, go to bed and start fresh.
It was a good and productive day!

Me - I love Coffee - so I switch between decaf and caffine - so I don't blow a circuit LOL

When I was younger it didn't seem to matter when I drank coffee. I could happily enjoy a cup after the evening meal. Now it seems any caffiene after three o'clock in the afternoon and I'm wide eyed and bushy tailed well after midnight.

Well, summer is fast approaching here in sunny Florida, so I've been busy clearing as much area as possible to grow an organic garden. Florida betony, by the way, has an ubiquitous root system! Today I'm feeling a little fatigued, and if any of you have casually checked my Facebook posts, you'll...
