It has been over a month since my last confession… Well, since my last “Where am I? What am I doing?” post. So yeah… holidayzzzz. Sometimes it seems like they never end, right?
I had a great visit with family. I got to hang out with the cousins and we ran all over town before we entered an Escape Room and defeated it handily. I hit a museum with the folks and even did some padded sword fighting with my youngest nephew. It was a whirlwind of activities and the holiday stress was low.
I knew we would be gone for a while so I brought my best intentions with me. I packed my computer with my source files and the current fourth book project loaded. All I needed was time. But time is always at a minimum when visiting people (see above). Once we got back in town, I could get some down on digital paper then. See where I’m going with this?
But they always say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. So, did I get any writing done during the holidays? Sadly, not a single word. Have I done any since being back? Second verse, same as the first.
The best part about being gone from work for a while is how much has piled up since you left. Eesh. But now that I have caught up on that, I have a plan! And I’ve taken on new responsibilities as of two weeks ago and the plan has taken a back seat. When are going to get short term cloning as an option? I need another me for about a month or so. Oh science.
I can get it done and by it I mean ‘all the things’. My resolution for this shiniest of shiny New Year’s is to get that plan rolling along with everything else and see them to completion. Perseverence is the key.
Well, that and coffee… and uh, sometimes whiskey…
