I saw a quote somewhere that said writing is 1% inspiration and 99% not getting distracted by the internet. I’m not sure who said it, but it wasn’t me. Still it is so true. Getting distracted by the internet and other things in life can be the death of productivity.
Lately we have been going through a lot of life stuff. It is all good stuff but distracting none the less. We are having our first baby soon! And because we will be needing more room we are buying our first home! See all very wonderful exciting stuff but still very distracting from writing.
With my little obsessive streak I have logged more hours than I even want to think about looking at baby stuff online, reading reviews on everything from bouncers to bottle warmers, making my registry (BTW thanks Sis for throwing me a baby shower), looking up information on infant care and the list goes on.
I have logged just as much time looking at houses, comparing neighborhoods, and all the things you do when preparing to purchase a home. Consequently, I have not gotten nearly as much writing done as I would have like over the last month. But I finally have my baby registry done and we have placed the house hunt on hold for a month and a half.
So really I have no excuses not to meet my daily writing goals and I look forward to not thinking about real estate or bottle warmers for a little while. So I will be blogging on Fridays again and should be publishing another book in August or September.
Also this is kind of unrelated but I want to give a big Thank You to everyone who has bought my first book Always Darkest! Every single sale that I have seen has been a cause for celebration and I am truly grateful. If you liked my book, or if you didn’t, feel free to review it or send me an email at kimwritesbooks@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
I hope you all have a great weekend and as always thanks for reading…
