I’m big on setting monthly goals. By listing them and breaking them down into manageable chunks, I accomplish more than I think possible. My process is to set monthly goals, then at the beginning of each week, I create daily goals that will work within my current schedule.

As I write this, I’m sitting on the couch with a blanket over my legs. My mini-doxie, Sophie, is on my lap under the blanket. She’s not happy unless she’s under a blanket, preferably on my lap, and I’m glad. It’s nice having her warm little body next to mine.
In some ways being a writer is the perfect occupation for our current pandemic situation. I’m used to social distancing. I already work from home, so no new skills are needed to make the transition.
But in other ways, being a writer is a terrible occupation to have during a global pandemic.
