This is me trying to remind myself that writing a novel is a marathon, and not a hundred yard dash. I get impatient with myself, thinking that I should be able to do more, write more, edit more...be more.
The truth is, I've got a pretty full life with a lot of responsibilities, and it just doesn't do me any good to dwell on the things that I can't do (or can't do fast enough). Sadly, that knowledge still doesn't stop me from trying.
I annoy myself sometimes.
Besos!

It's definitely hard to do it all.
I annoy myself, too, more than I should. :P
Flipping my mind over to see what I've accomplished and not what I **haven't** is a continual chore, both as a writer and a mom, woman and wife.
But when I do acknowledge my progress, I end up feeling grateful and happier. It just takes me awhile to get there sometimes.
Took me two years to write my first book, including editing and proof reading. And I thought it would take 6-8 months. LOL! Just keep plugging away. That's all you can do sometimes.
