Organized Chaos: Momentum in the Making

Before It Begins – Again😎

Happy Sunday!

Today is kind of a down day for me. On Friday, I actually sent an email and an NDA for upcoming projects, along with three chapters of Dangerous Desires, to a publishing company (fingers crossed). I would love to have an agent and publisher for all of my upcoming novels and novellas, with the hope that I can focus on writing, writing, and art instead of editing, marketing, and setting up signings, author meet-and-greets, and events.

If they don’t want to speak with me, and I can’t find an agent, I’ve decided to go with a company that will help with that. I will have to pay them, but they will do a lot of the work I’m not wanting to do.🤷🏼‍♀️

As I said in previous blog posts, I need to get my mojo/muse/motivation for writing rekindled (blog writing helps!). Let’s not forget that my characters are extremely vocal within my head. Also, just because I’ve decided to focus on my adult novels and novellas does not mean the characters from my children’s books are being patient—they are not. You know how loud children can be? Well, the characters for their books are just as loud.

I am also in the process of trying (key word: try) to become more organized—not only in a scheduling sense but physically, too. Working on my office and art area will help, but I have several things to put into place to make sure that everything I want, desire, and need to do actually gets done.

My sweetheart’s family will be coming for a visit sometime in November (now just days away). I have no details on what days, and guess what—I’m also going out of town in November and will be giving two speeches (which I still need to write and practice!). I have a lot to do in, I’m guessing, a short amount of time. I also have this bad habit of saying “yes” when asked if I can help with something (primarily Toastmasters events).

So, it is list-making time. Yes, I’m a list maker—not that I always stick with it, but I at least have it as a guideline.

The decision I have to make, though, is where to begin.

Do I take a few days and focus on the organization of my office and art room? That would probably be the best route to take—possibly taking time each night, after I stop working on organizing, to write, draw, or paint. I need to paint or draw (my soul is craving it) since I haven’t physically done any in weeks. I’ve been watching art videos for some new ideas but not creating anything myself, and the desire to create is growing stronger. I still have an art series I want to do, and I need to start putting that together—ASAP! 💡

Anyway, today is a down day for me. I’m writing this, and when we get home, I hope to play a little ESO, Enshrouded, or I may take a chance and learn how to play Deep Rock. I’ll probably play ESO because there’s this new rider mount I saw, and I want it. So that will be my main game today.

Tomorrow—the organizing begins… Wish me luck!🤞

Till next time, have a great week filled with hugs, love, laughter, and blessings.

Later! 😇
