I had started beating myself up if I was reading instead of writing, but then I remembered to be a great writer I have to be a great reader. As long as I read, write, or edit I am making gains in my writing career, I just have to remind myself of that. It honestly makes life easier if I accept where I am and what I am doing at that moment in time. I wrote 2 chapters on a new story this weekend and I edited one of my manuscripts. It felt really good to make the time for myself. Life doesn't stop or slow down for anyone, I do need to remind myself to embrace those little 5 minutes treasures of writing with a good cup of coffee every now and then before life and time completely flies by leaving me behind.
2015 seems to be flying by. It has been a busy and amazing year with work, softball, powwows, and of course writing. I attended an online workshop for 21 days back in Sept; it was created to get authors and writers to believe in themselves and simply write. It was a great refresher and reminder to write at any opportunity possible, regardless if it is for 5 minutes or an hour. It also reminded me to be my own cheerleader and not beat myself up all the time.
