I have learned, and continue to learn, that I must be present in each of these phases, because they will not last. I must appreciate each one and mourn (or rejoice!) when they pass, but also look forward to the next one because without one you don't have the other...Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658507579160418855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135357215614759422.post-29870080921013053022020-02-18T08:22:20.761-05:002020-02-18T08:22:20.761-05:00Congrats on the requests!

I'd just tried a new technique that helped me actually finish everything on my to-do list for the day (my to-do lists are always ridiculous), and I was so excited. The very next day I was down with the worst cold I've had in years. Game over.J.H.

It's life. I've learned to deal with it. I actually have more time to read (because of my job) than to write, so I'm still adjusting to that. Reading all the books actually helps me write faster when I do get the chance.
