Ya know, Phoebe, I had the thought that focusing on these books will indeed be a SANE place, a sort of retreat to my own reality. And, now that I know I’ll be spending a couple of months holed up in my husband’s little apartment–with no distractions except to check on progress at the house–I have a great chance to really focus on this book I’ll be working on.

I admire your spirit, Charlotte! Taking on so many challenges will be difficult, but I know you love writing and that it will be a constant comfort to you during a year of changes.

Delegate authority. Let others take some of the burden off of you.

If the income looks good enough, splurge on some hired help to take care of the small things or ignore the small things.

And make it a top priority to take care of yourself and your health because long-term health problems aren’t worth the risk. It’s better to lose an extra hour of writing than losing too much sleep or not taking that walk.

Hi, Shirl! Thank goodness I have a wonderful web designer, and I was already scheduled for a site update in May! If only I could teach my dog to write for me…

BIG news here: we sold our house yesterday! So now the clock/meter are really ticking! And I have a hunch that within the next 12 hours we’ll have a deal agreement on the place we’ve been negotiating for in MN. Makes writing seem like such a tame, rational way to spend your time!

Hi Charlotte,

We really miss you at MORWA. Sounds as if your life is even fuller than I imagined! (if that’s possible). Many new books to write, a move to coordinate and a whole new website to redesign. Wowzer!!
