<\/a><\/div>\nI got up early this morning so I could have time to write (only two chapters to go – yeah!). Early means 5:15am, so – wouldn’t you know it? As I’m checking my Facebook (gotta have priorities – right?), I get a notice that school is being delayed for two hours. I could have slept in and still had time to write!<\/p>\n
Except, not really. During last year’s NaNoWriMo<\/a> I discovered that I actually do better writing early in the morning and with a time limit. That’s not to say I can’t write any other time, but that feeling of urgency seems to propel me into writing. I guess I’ve always worked better with a deadline. My husband and I have often joked that it seems like the most productive times in our lives are when we have too much to do in the time we have to do it.<\/p>\n So, I managed to add to my book, check my email, check Facebook, and surf the net a bit all before my daughter got up. Now she’s eating breakfast and I’m blogging. Next I have to get my boys up and on their way and then I’m off to my part-time job (Kids Voting–Guilford County<\/a>).<\/p>\n Love that full calendar!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got up early this morning so I could have time to write (only two chapters to go – yeah!).
