It’s been a good summer. And a busy summer. I wasn’t
expecting any changes or surprises, but that’s always when something happens,
right?
The hardest part is writing when life seems to be going at a
crazy pace. Last month, my goal was to edit 80,000 words of Hooked, book 2 in
the series I wrote during November. During that time, I thought that my
schedule would be wide open.
Unfortunately, life threw a few curveballs at me. Right
after setting my goal, I ended up switching jobs, which meant extra hours of
work, trying to finish my previous job and start orientation for the new one.
Then my husband had a surprise interview across the state, and my mom threw in
a surprise trip for the family. So all of the sudden, my extra time didn’t
exist anymore.
I didn’t reach my goal. But that’s okay. Sometimes, we have
to let life happen. That’s not to say I didn’t try hard. The last two weeks of
July, we ended up driving for almost 75 hours. That’s like a full time job
right there, just in the car. I spent as much time as I could writing, though
let me say, there’s a lot of bumpy roads out there!

There were some days that I didn’t write at all, but I didn’t
let that discourage me. Because that’s going to happen. Some days are busy, and
other days I have nothing to do and writing takes a priority.
It’s hard to find time for everything, but sometimes, it’s
nice to sit back and let life happen for a while. The past two weeks have been
crazy, but at the same time, I saw so many things that I got even more ideas
for future stories
So I guess, in a sense, I never really stopped writing.
