Half A Day!

Half a day.  This is what I get every day, but it is not really half a day. It is 3 hours max.  My son goes to half a day kindergarten.  He goes to school at 11:30 am and returns with his sister at 2:40 pm on the bus.  This my friends...is my half a day.  I have three hours to do what I want, three hours to run errands, three hours to clean, three hours to pick my nose if I want (ha) and three hours to ... write.  It is a lot, it drives me crazy, it is my half a day. How on earth can I choose what and/or when to do everything?









I also want to be an excellent Mom, a wonderful wife, a great chef and a decent housekeeper. Ha  But in reality ALL of these things being pushed into my three hour half a day time window are wearing on me.  Oh, I also need to lose about 10 lbs.  It is A LOT. 







My newest realization is that I need to be networking myself. After attending my first writing conference I was told to get out there, get online, start your social media quest and start writing. Not on your book, about your book. The book you have not completed yet, that does not have a title, but about THAT book! Please chime in here to help!







So I started. It is about the only thing I can do while my son is here in the morning. I research web pages, websites and blogs to follow, people to read about, books to read, the latest trends and yadda, yadda, yadda.  I have read the online pages, researched it, read it again and now I have started...social media? 







I am overwhelmed again. Where do I start, where does it end? When on earth do I ACTUALLY work on MY BOOK(s)? 







I guess it is good I have been writing.  It has been months since my family blog has been updated. Why you ask? Because I have been setting up this!  I have also just moved here from Zimbabwe.  :)

I have set up many my Pinterest Page...which I LOVE by the way.  It is probably the other reason why I don't do much writing. ha ha.  If you have not tried it... you should!! There is a plethora of information out there, I find it fascinating as this is one of the first times I have had unlimited access to the internet.  I assume this is part of what they mean by getting sucked in...but also trying to market yourself.  There is so much of it surrounding you, it truly can be an amazing tool.







What am I doing...who knows? But I am having fun and I am writing.  Here I am, jumping in feet first. But with a background in competitive swimming, I have a feeling I should be diving in with my hands and head first.  Ha  Knowing this, it may be a bumpy and very wet ride ahead.
