I’m not always distracted. With two big church projects, family/friends to keep up with, and house/yard people coming some is inevitable. Those are the easy ones. Social media? It is a constant maze of loose thought. I go to ask or answer a question, see something shiny and I’m off like a dog on a squirrel. Or a cat on a laser. I sit down to watch a nice documentary on you tube, see a reel, and come to two hours later in a daze. Some days are like that.
Luckily, not all of them. I managed to write over 8000 words in the past week, while keeping some of the balls in that second sentence up in the air. I’m doing well, really. I’m just meeting myself coming and going. I’ve been productive today for half the day and distracted the other half.
Still writing. Still planning a newsletter. And hey, what’s that??? Moonlight Madness goes live on Wednesday! Best get some celebratory posting done. But I’m working on “Here and Now,” so maybe later. But first, coffee.
