Do you take me for someone who is anything but perfectly disciplined and self controlled???<BR/>I have no excuses. Everything I do which keeps me from work is perfectly legitimate. I HAVE to read blogs, and update my status on Facebook, and fold laundry, and check email, and load the dishwasher, and change sheets, and check email again, and get meat out to thaw, and run to the store, and check email, and sweep the floor, and wipe up spots I found while sweeping, and get the boys from school, and check email one more time. Nope. No excuses here!

Maybe it took you longer than you wanted, but you did it. How many people start novels and actually finish them? <BR/><BR/>I recently read an author's advice column. She said to learn your craft and produce several manuscripts before you have the pressure of a deadline. <BR/><BR/>I'll be doing a post on productivity/time management again in the near future. It's tough making all the pieces come together.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.

But try not to beat yourself up about it - we all need self-imposed breaks once in awhile (even if it's laziness more than anything else), where we completely disconnect from our work. I think it helps us reconnect and discover our next step... along with the relevance of that next step. It sounds like you're ready!
