It’s okay to spend time doing something that’s important to you. Even if it’s not important to anyone else on the whole planet. Even if it never earns you $$$.
So when I settle down to do a project (like writing my YA Rom Comm), I’m going to give it my full attention. It might only be for half an hour, but my email is going off. I’m not going to be tempted to blog (after this one, anyway…) or twitter about anything. I’m not going to make phonecalls. And I’m not going to just pop another load of washing on…
I’m going to start taking ‘writing breaks’. Because I can.
After all, that’s why I started my own professional writing business – and work from home most of the time. So I could have a job and a life. Getting totally absorbed into business life and losing a bit of myself along the way wasn’t part of the plan.
Okay, that’s a long enough note to self. From now on, I’m going to value myself and do what I need to do. And right now, I need to write.
Go on…you can do it too!
cheers
