When life seems overwhelming…

…just take a deep breath and say to yourself “fuck it!” then go on your merry business.

So here’s the kicker–as much as you may say to yourself “oh my God, I have so much shit to do!” you also secretly love how busy and occupied you are. Well, maybe you’re not completely aware of that secret love, but trust me, my friend…it’s there.

You also want to admit to yourself that while it may seem like an overwhelming amount of work you have to do, you always get it done, you get it done on time, and you do it well.

Eh, so it goes 😉

But for now, I ponder….I prep…and then I post 🙂

A suggestion to all those who hit mental stumbling blocks along the way (or mammoth like hurdles). I must have read this blog 6 or 7 times already. Great advice! I am in excellent company 🙂

So without much further ado….my friend Angela McConnell’s post on her blog My Blue Screen:

WHEN YOUR BRAIN GETS IN YOUR WAY Now we come to the third and most difficult part of an idea’s journey to becoming a first draft story, and that is the brain.  That’s right.  The very thing responsible for making us capable of placing words next to each other to form epic sagas that last generations is also the very thing that prevents mo … Read More
