So Lately

I have been overwhelmed and panicked about things I must do.

In a bad way.

 

(Too big. Too much.)

 

Priorities:

I want to be with my girls.

And my friends–more than I am now which is almost never.

I want to write.

I want to fulfill my callings.

And I want to make sure the conference is a success (www.wifyr.com).

 

What I don’t want to do is wake up feeling like I’m gonna puke because I’m stressed.

I won’t want to cry because extra work is piled on me.

Dream about it.

Worry over it.

Wonder how to get it done.

 

I know why  some people just want to hide.

So–

Talking to a publisher today (maybe).

To ease my burden.

 

But there is this–I’ve made some people angry.

 

Remember how I said  Treat Writing Like a Job?

Being your own boss means knowing when to say no.

Even when it isn’t popular.

 

I’m going back to sleep.

  1. Oh, Carol, you always want to take care of everyone else. And then I read a few days ago that you want to start a writing business? Don’t even think about it until the conference is over. And then take a week off and go sit in a forest somewhere and regenerate. Take good food to eat. And a blank notebook because I know you can’t go that long without writing.
