Deadlines will be made. Worrying about hitting them won't get me any closer to writing the books. So, I will worry as little as possible and enjoy the ride. <br /><br />Congrats again on Peapod! 2012 is going to be an amazing year:)Joelle Charbonneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608552691748018256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-54575115315132705142012-01-07T11:57:25.944-05:002012-01-07T11:57:25.944-05:00Lil, that's exactly how I'm trying to live...Lil, that's exactly how I'm trying to live my life, too. And, yes, relish the positive moments! Once I can give up reading reviews online (well, particularly the bad ones!), I'll be at a better place in my head, that's for sure.

You have such good stuff coming, and you must ignore the negative reviews.

I've been working on it, but I'm not there yet!<br /><br />Thanks, yellowrose! You're so right about the baby! Its definitely become the highest priority!<br /><br />Laura, I keep thinking I'll get better at scheduling, and I guess I have gotten things a lot more under control than when I was first published. But I feel like I've still got a ways to go before I've mastered The Art of Giving Myself Enough Time.

So, I stick to "don't read reviews" and "write the best book possible"--more open ended resolutions--and that seems to work better for me. Great post! MaggieMaggie Barbierinoreply@blogger.com
