Keep Me Accountable - Day 10

Today has been a beautiful day in Georgia. The hood of my car looked like it had snowed - snowed pollen that is!

My allergies haven't kicked into high gear yet and I'm looking forward to the weekend when I can plant some flowers to take us into summer.

Every year about this time, when the tulips and jonquals are blooming, I wish I had planted bulbs the autumn before.

Don't you hate that... wishing you had done something but never getting around to accomplishing the task. I've found out, if I approach goals one by one, work a little at a time, things will be accomplished.

So little by little, the laundry has been washed and folded and put away. Bills are getting paid. Dishes are being cleaned. The house is nice and quiet...

Am I too drowsy to work on my book? It is close to 11 pm... I doubt I will get any more done tonight. Mornings are my most productive hours... this work thing just keeps getting in the way of my writing productivity...

Here's where I am today - and a BIG THANK YOU - to everyone who continues to check in with me daily to let me know how they are doing as well as cheering me on. Journalling the progress for this book is really helping me stay on task.

Great progress, Christy! I'm judging a contest right now, which is a learning tool in my opinion. I love reading other manuscripts and seeing what works and what doesn't. I always learn when I judge.
Keep it going. We're rooting and praying for you!

Sounds like Georgia has just as much crud floating through the air as North Texas. Praise God I don't have allergies :-)
On the writing front, good job. You're progressing. That's all that matters.

I've always enjoyed reading historical novels. As a child I actually imagined living in the mid 1800s. My grandmother fed my imaginatio...
