Hi, all! Herewith is our 5th check-in for the Summer Writing Challenge. We’ve started a new month; we still have the same goals.
Of everything that I expected to happen in June, that did
happen, disruptions and distractions but also a slow-moving progress toward the
goals. Of everything that I wanted to accomplish, not there yet.
Am I upset and frustrated by the disruptions? No.
Did I have some time-wasters? Yes. Do I want to kick myself
for those. Yes and No.
Am I irretrievably behind? Well—One thing that I learned
while in the business world and also in this writing realm is that nothing goes
as smoothly as we plan.. Nothing actually functions like a regular work week. No
matter where we are, disruptions occur.
We can have a Do or Die attitude about our writing … but I
want to enjoy it.
I cannot enjoy it when I feel chained to the work, to
constant on-demand performance.
And creativity suffers.
