You’ve got to think about big things while you’re doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.
Alvin Toffler
We’re halfway through the year and I honestly can’t comprehend that! It feels like this year has gone so fast. I’ve been busy recently, trying to get things ready for baby #2 while also continuing my writing and dealing with a toddler! It’s definitely chaotic but it’s a productive chaotic!
I’ve been busy writing and trying to get some stories into comps before taking a bit of a leave when bub arrives. I really wanted to enter a few competitions and continue writing and being productive.
It can be hard some days at the moment to stay productive. There are definitely days that I go down for a nap rather than writing, but it’s all about balance and it’s okay to have a rest day here and there! I definitely need it at the moment.
Days are very full and I do end up going to bed early at the moment. That will most likely change in the second half of the year but the fatigue is very strong at the moment. I’m looking forward to the July-December season and getting back into the groove of writing, parenting and University!
I have about a year of study left of my Master’s degree. It may stretch out longer if I drop down to 1 or 2 subjects a semester but at the moment I’m looking at finishing mid-next year. We will see how that goes! I may be a little too optimistic but I’m trying to stay focused and get to the end of my degree.
I have some more short story and poetry content for you all to be uploaded over the next few weeks and I’m looking forward to getting some more stories out there!
