Why I'm Not Writing This Week 3/1
Welcome to "Why I'm Not Writing." We all know that the only thing writers like doing better than writing is avoiding writing. So every Friday I list five things that have distracted me from my writing that week.
I also encourage you to share with me what made you procrastinate this week by posting with #whyimnotwriting on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram, or share in the comments below. I'll feature my favorites with everyone here.
Business Cards
If you remember, a few weeks ago I started researching business cards and got overwhelmed with all the available options. Well, this week, I finally order my cards and they've been delivered. I'm excited with how they turned out and can't wait to share them at the retreats and conferences I have in the next few months.
Sick Puppy
Our poor dog, Pluto, got an inflection this week because of a dirty collar on his neck. We got him a bunch of antibiotics and removed and cleaned his collars. He's back to his normal, crazy self now, but this is great warning to all dog owners! Make sure you're removing and cleaning your pup's collars regularly.
Tax Season
Daniel and I went had our taxes done this week. That was exhausting. Actually, it wasn't that bad. I don't know why I usually it up to be so bad in my head. When usually it's pretty painless and I do end up getting money back more often than not. I'm also proud of us for getting everything done so far before the deadline.
The Writing Coach Podcast
I mentioned last week that I hung out with Kevin Johns, who manages The Writing Coach Podcast. This week, our interview was published and is available for everyone to listen to.
