Now I'm finding smaller goals are at least more doable, and I like to think that writing under pressure teaches me to be a little more efficient. I'm with Donna: Skechers Go Walk 2 Super Socks. They're probably no better looking than Crocs, but they are the most comfortable shoes ever.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141883867104777688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173456260059938165.post-58537531862456067882015-02-15T15:51:47.083-08:002015-02-15T15:51:47.083-08:00Good grief, I had to read your past five blogs (th...Good grief, I had to read your past five blogs (that's how far behind I am). Will I remember to comment about them all? Doubtful, but know I read them. Jodi's lastest, would love to read that - sounds interesting.

Honestly, I need a couple hours just to get the next 500 words. Is a puzzlement, those writers who can dash out 400 words here and there and finish a novel.<br /><br />But yeah, you Cathy C.

As far as words of advice, I'm not the best one to dispense advice. I try to write every day, but don't always hit the mark. About the Crocs.

I try to make writing a habit every day, but some days it's just not going to come. I used to beat myself up for those days, but I don't anymore. Because invariably, I find that I'm still working on my project. I just don't always have to be at my computer to do it.
