Dear Reader
Some people can wing it and get by with out a schedule. When you're juggling running a household, a business, and your writing endeavors, winging it becomes less of an option. A schedule is a useful tool, as long as there is flexibility built into it, that can keep you moving forward with your writing. I'd post a picture of mine but the handwriting is messy and the page is just as bad. So, here for your viewing pleasure, is my schedule.

The schedule isn't iron clad. It gets shifted about some when things like phone calls and appointments need to happen. I developed this schedule back in January before my brain went explody. I got a lot of work done in a lot of areas of my life through it. I'm working to get back into using it despite the distractions of the kids. As you may have noticed, it's helped me post more this week than I have in the last month.
