Help!
It’s been months since I started my book and it’s not quite done yet. After I pushed myself so hard to get the first draft done by the time I pitched at Killer Nashville, I crashed. I stared taking an MBA course in Marketing and it was all too much. Having two VERY active kids and a loving husband, I needed a break. It’s so much trying to give everything in my life 100%, I end up with 0%.
This kind of pressure is not fun, it’s not enjoyable for anyone in my life. After I completed my 8-week class, I took time off. My blogging has been minimal. I haven’t twittered like I use to. My book is still in editing/completion phase. One thing I’ve learned real quick is that I CAN’T do it all. There is a limit and that is OK.
I blogged earlier about how I accomplish it all. I can do that for a while, maybe four months, and then I fall and fall hard. I need to find a balance, a true balance between family, my book and marketing and work.
Too bad I have to work. I was debating on staying home, but we can’t swing it financially. Maybe one day when I am a NYT Best Seller I can quite the day job. For now I will keep it and continue to do my best.
Now that life is giving me a breather, I am able to sit down and write a little. I made realistic goals for myself. No more classes this year and by the end of the year I want to have my book completely finished. I know, even with the holidays, I can meet the goal.
