Excuses, Excuses






What do you make excuses for? Writing????


  1. I usually put off house work. All week I've been saying I need to clean. Well, the bathroom got done, but that's it. Honestly what helps me from making excuses is blogging about the goals I set. A friend created #writemotivation and you blog your goals then use the hashtag (which I haven't been doing) to update you goals and well as blog about the updates. I do midmonth goal checkins. It really helps because the goals are written down and I want see them crossed off.

    And before you make an excuse saying you've tried and it didn't work, shush. Try again. With ONE goal. That's my challenge to you. Publicly set one goal (make it anything) and try to accomplish it. I'm going to leave this here for you too. http://www.kthanna.com/writemotivation/

  2. I feel you on the not blogging part. I just came back from an on and off two month blogging hiatus.

  3. Ugh! I hope you feel better. Take care!

    I'm learning that you can't always wait until you feel like doing something, feel strong, feel confident, etc. Sometimes you have to take the steps, take action, first and then feelings will often come later.

  4. I am super close to finishing my novel. But I lost my job yesterday (such a great day) and I've been using that as an excuse not to write. Which ticks me off, b/c I do not want to associate that reason for not finishing. I am going to finish that book before the weekend is done!!

  5. You should keep Glucerna in for times like this. I was really sick at the beginning of the year and didn't feel like eating anything. Hubby got me some glucerna and it worked wonders.

    Excuses - don't want to do it or don't feel like doing it and that's it.

  6. I hope that you're feeling better! And it's okay to take a break from writing every now and then; it's clear that you're dedicated to writing, but sometimes other things come up, like getting sick, work, or other stuff. I've had to take several breaks from blogging, due to my move to another state.

  7. HOW DARE YOU NOT BLOG...joking ;) Maybe...seriously though, I've hardly blogged all summer so no hard feelings! I hope you're feeling better, summer colds are the absolute WORST! *sends get better hugs*
