Well hello all – I am back from holiday and sitting in my writer’s chair once again! And you know, although it’s always sad to finish a holiday and come back home to normality (especially after the great time we had), I’m ready and raring to go and it was good to start writing again.
Stacks of work to get going on today...
I had two big projects to come back to which have a lot of work tied up in them, so I decided to reign myself in on accepting a lot of new work – partly so I could focus on getting big chunks of these two projects done, and also so I could ease myself back in. I don’t know about you, but I have always found that if I haven’t been writing anything for a week or so I am really rusty and slow when I start back. This time seemed different though as I got a heck of a lot done on my first day back – more than I expected to in fact. Let that be a lesson to me!
So this week is a week to ease myself back in, and then next week we start back in earnest with more writing projects. We also run an eBay business here which I may have mentioned before – you can find us at Shop Smoo on eBay – so being as it is now October we are fully into the run up to Christmas. All that and we need to fit in our own Christmas shopping as well – eek!
It might seem a little early to be thinking about that but I have learned from previous experience that if I don’t start now it just doesn’t get done, and there is nothing worse than having to squeeze in an urgent shopping trip in around deadlines and trips to the post office to send out orders. So I have my practical head on now, and writing needs to be expertly fitted in around everything else that is going on.
How do you do it? Do you manage to organise your days efficiently or do you struggle? Let me know – it’s a great subject to get talking about and I love to hear your comments.
