Disarming the “Not Enough” Trap
There's a common thread that runs through the disappointment that comes with low sales or publisher and agent rejections. When you submit a proposal for a conference and it doesn't get accepted or when you submit a resume for a job and you don't get hired, this same insidious phrase oft

When You Can’t Write, Give Yourself Kindness
I put 1125 words on my writing tracker last night, which goes by weeks, and realized those were the first words I'd written since November 2. Now it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why and even before last week's events, I was dealing with grad school res

Feeling Like You’re Chasing Bouncing Balls?

What my brain thinks I need to be (should be) doing:

Working on transcripts, planning out launch things, gathering email addresses for early access, recording credits...

What I'm doing:

Taking a moment to follow more people here, doing laundry, shopping for a new laptop, daydreaming, playing guitar, placating the cat, making and eating a kick-butt omelet.

This is why I made sure to be ahead of schedule. My head really wants me to full-steam-ahead right now but there's a big part of me that needs to take a breath and a break.

It will all be done in time.
