And I hate to clean! Blogging about my writing progress has probably been the best motivator for me. I find myself thinking, if I don't do this, I'm going to have to write a post that says, I didn't do it ... I don't want to write a post that says that! (although I have - one so far ...) Nicole, I would love to be able to do my half hour first thing in the morning but I am so not a morning person. I'm going to try for early evening, right after Dylan goes to bed but before I tackle anything else. Keeping my fingers crossed. Beth, it's amazing what going public with a goal can do ...! Molly, thank you! I am so glad you're enjoying these posts. You remember the angst I had about whether I should even be blogging about writing rather than just books.

Nicole, I would love to be able to do my half hour first thing in the morning but I am so not a morning person. I’m going to try for early evening, right after Dylan goes to bed but before I tackle anything else. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Beth, it’s amazing what going public with a goal can do …!

Molly, thank you! I am so glad you’re enjoying these posts. You remember the angst I had about whether I should even be blogging about writing rather than just books.

I may not have time to read too many blogs while away at school, but yours will definitely be at the top of my list. I learn so much from you as a writer, and I have a feeling I will use your blog as inspiration for the next 6 weeks. <abbr><em>Molly’s last blog post..<a href="http://mycozybooknook.blogspot.com/2009/06/buyers-remorse-or-my-eyes-were-too-big.html" rel="nofollow">Buyer's Remorse OR My Eyes were too Big for my Schedule</a></abbr></em> I so admire your writing discipline and enjoy reading your posts on this writing process.

I need to make writing more of a priority, too. I mean, I have all this time and I am still not getting it done. I get cold feet or something. I sit down to write and I allow myself to be distracted into a million other projects. I was going to write one day and ended up cleaning my mirror. I mean, who does that? I like your posts on writing. They are great. <abbr><em>Rebecca’s last blog post..<a href="http://imlostinbooks.blogspot.com/2009/06/48-hour-book-challenge-4.html" rel="nofollow">The 48 Hour Book Challenge- #4</a></abbr></em> You are doing great, Belle!
