WEDNESDAY: WRITING AND OTHER CHORES

I’m still here, still as busy as ever. I don’t mind multi-tasking, working on more than one thing at a time. What I don’t like is having a long list of “to-do” items, making me feel overwhelmed and over burdened. It doesn’t help that i really want to do the writing stuff, some of the rest, no so much.

Part of it is not just having to do it all myself, but having to manage, it too. At my local writers group meeting last Saturday, the speaker re-iterated what I’ve come to see all too well. Being a self-published “indie” author means you get to have control, make all the decisions about what your book will sounds like and look like. You control you destiny. That’s the good part. The bad part is that you MUST make all those decisions yourself, with no publisher’s staff to help you. No one else is there to do it for you.

So it usually is for my tasks a personal level. My “to-do list” is MY list. Family and friends can advise or make suggestions, but in the end the buck stops with me—for my writing or other responsibilities
