“…the right words for the right occasion”
Getting right back at it, this morning, after writing two articles and editing another yesterday.
Today, I received Mike Geffner’s Newsletter something every writer should read. Mike is well connected and provides a lot of information through his newsletter.
Check it out!
I was glad to hear from one regular client, one current client and one potentially new client, yesterday. Business had been rather quiet for the last few weeks. At least the business that pays directly. I still have a rather full to-do list and it’s starting to bug me that I’m not getting to it all…which is why I’m up early this morning! Trying to take advantage of a sleeping baby.
Okay, whoever came up with this fall back time change forgot to tell newborn babies that they are supposed to let their mommies sleep?!
Baby Brent (2 months and 2 weeks) woke at 12:30 and then again at 5:30 to be fed and changed. He hasn’t done a midnight feeding in a while – perhaps he’s in another growth spurt!

I have been so blessed this week with ideas – 2 articles and another book. My plans this week involved writing a book proposal for a set of devotionals I’m working on. Finances have dictated that I look for a market and manuscript that will hopefully pay an advance.
I may also be proposing this new book that I brainstormed on last night, which I could have done in relatively short order since it’s a personal experience book.
But, I look at my to-do list and the laundry and cleaning building up around the house and wonder…when am I going to get all this done! I’m one of those who has a hard time saying ‘no’. But, I’m looking forward to the chance of earning a little more money either from books or from paying articles (I have found a few good ones) and then I can say, ‘no, because I’m working on my own writing!”
I’m not an early morning person – although my previous job life required it. Baby Brent has also kind of forced me into it with his feedings and inability sometimes to go back to sleep. So, I sit here at odd hours “working”.
This morning 7:30 isn’t really that odd, but what’s odd is I drug myself out of bed at 6:30. Yes, Brent was fussing, but it wasn’t time for him to eat, yet, and I didn’t try to put him back to sleep with the pacifier.
Now, if only I could teach my 12-year-old to kick himself out of bed even though he’s had less than the required hours of sleep!
Thought it was about time I had one. Not sure how often I’ll be able to post because there is so much going on in my life right now. But, it is because I have so much going on in my life that I thought I needed to do this.
Hope you’ll enjoy hanging with me and that we’ll have opportunity to get to know each other as life goes on.
