Thanks to my BFF Erica Reid Gerdes, I've been writing more than ever with the goal of having my next book done by Christmas. She said I could email her stories as I finish them just to have the pressure of a deadline lurking in the background to get me going. Otherwise, I find a million other things to do instead of writing. I'm nearly done with the first story for my next book. It's all about how I absolutely did not fit in at Corporate America and how getting sick and being forced to take time off made me realize it was time to switch gears before I really regretted not getting out.
Fall semester starts next Monday, so I'll be extra busy yet again, but I can do it. I got my last book done while I was pregnant, so maybe I'll have that same rush of energy to get this one done before noodle #2 gets here in January. When the next baby comes, I think it'll really hit me just how little time I'll have. It'll be worth it and it's all about being a "reed in the wind" as I read in a Buddhist book (I think). Go with the flow and don't fight change and bumps in the road. Bring it on!
