Ooops...you won't always be brilliant

I normally write my Monday morning post right after my last kid walks out the door to school. This morning I was making pancakes for overnight guests. My neighbor needed me, I had two appointments, I squeezed lunch with my parents in between.

This writing-gig is tough business. Which is exactly why it has to be treated like a business. A real live business with deadlines, commitments. Essentials if you want to succeed.

But just remember. Successful or not, there will always be days like this. You won't always be brilliant. For those days I recommend giving yourself a lot of grace. (And me too, please.)

After today I'm going to make myself a new file folder. It will be entitled "blog posts for really busy days."

Until next Monday...
