Sometimes you need some inspiration. Well at least I do. Having two young children, a dog, laundry, cleaning and a job (working from home) I find it’s important to focus on the task at hand instead of the big picture.

Every morning I wake up with lists upon lists of things to do. When I finally get to the good stuff (writing) I easily get bogged down by the “big picture.” When I think of this message it helps me focus. It’s not about all that you have to do, it’s about what you can do at that moment. Often I think about the big picture (finishing a book, revising, etc.) and get nothing accomplished.

New mantra: Just keep writing!
