I enrolled in this challenge very late .People had decided
on their themes and were ready with most of their posts too! (I assumed this!)
This sent me into a panic mode – I have to do so much in such a little time!
How will I manage? What shall I do? OMG!!!
Then I calmed myself down, took deep breaths and sat down one
night ,just started writing a series of short posts one after other. Next
morning I read them…they were utterly boring! Back to square one!!
After continuing in panic mode for two whole days, it dawned
on me – I don’t have to write all the posts now ! I am making a simple,
enjoyable task into a monumental one! Why see so much ahead and cloud the present?
We do this often in life “So much weight to lose! I will
never succeed…Why begin then?” You don’t have to lose all that weight right
now…you just have to begin now…Break down this monumental task into a smaller
segments...it will be surely enjoyable !
Just begin…and continue…you will reach your destination one
day ….
Very true! Nice sweet post.

Thanks for visiting Working in Words - and happy A to Z! Here comes the final week.
Finding your blog for the first time while out blog hopping from North Carolina during the #Challenge before hurrying on to visit as many blogs as possible on Sunday, our day off. As a writer, setting tasks became important when starting to edit both my my novels. It helped keep me focused, When it comes to the #Challenge, my 4th year, my task was to have everything written and in the queue by April 1 with tweaking ahead. It works. If you have interest or time, I have been writing about hotels and inns, the architects and settings. On the letter T day it was about tea at a lovely hotel yesterday. Join me.
ReplyDeleteYou said it, Maya! I needed to hear this today :) Thank you!
