I have to intentionally map out my writing journey if I’m going to get to my success. The end of the year is closing in fast. There is only two full months left in the year and those will fly by (they always do in our house). If I want to be prepared for the…
It has not been easy. There is a limited amount of time in the day and it seems that if I slow down to kick my feet up then the day slips passed and I’m behind on the things I need to do. Finding the balance can be just as difficult and scary as walking…
