Welcome to the Why I’m Not Writing This Week series!
If you’re not familiar with this series, just know that the only thing writers love more than writing is avoiding writing. And I am definitely no exception. Every Friday, I list five things that distracted me from my writing this week.
I encourage you to share with me your reasons for not writing every week too and I’ll share my favorites in the latest edition.
Baby Shower Madness
Last weekend, we had the first of our showers for little boy. We had a drive-by shower on Saturday and a virtual shower on Sunday. We’ll have another drive-by shower this Saturday and then we just sit back and wait!
Packing Our Hospital Bag
After much poking and prodding, my husband and I finally got our hospital bag packed. For all the time we put it off, it went pretty fast. We still have a few more things to add, but are mostly ready.
Mental Health Day
On Monday, my day job closed our offices for a mental health day. I really leaned in it and spent the whole day relaxing. I have a lot of work I still need to around the house and for my work in progress before baby arrives, but it was nice to have a day where I didn’t have to worry about it.
The Chef Show
My newest low key rewatch is The Chef Show on Netflix. It’s not really a cooking show and not really a reality tv show. It’s just a relaxing and easy watching show about two guys who really love food and cooking.
Maternity Leave Starts
This is my last Why I’m Not Writing entry for a while. Starting on Tuesday, I’ll be having guest posts every week for the next 16 weeks while I get ready and take care of my new family. I hope you enjoy the guest post and spotlight series coming up. I’ll see you again in October!
