Keep pushing

I've been keeping my pledge to publish at least one blog post each day, but it seems like it's getting harder and harder to do. We're buying a house (yay us) and it's getting down to wire, trying to make sure we close on a property and get possession well in advance of our lease expiring so we can make sure we make any necessary changes or upgrades before we have to leave our apartment.

So writing is beginning to take a backseat, no matter how much I don't want it to. I write whever I can, but I still feel like my mind needs to be focused on other things, like our financing for the house, studying the pros and cons of one house versus the other, logistical things like how long it will take me to get to work, etc.

But I'm trying. The greatest writers don't always have gobs of time to just sit and write. They work too. I've just got to keep pushing and make it happen!

Who's holding you accountable?

I'm in the midst of the week from hell and I just want to take a break from all this writing. Every free minute I get I am on the computer typing away and I just want to go lie down for a while. Just put my head on the pillow, close my eyes and rest.

But I have this amazing group of writer friends and they keep me going. We have dreams of being the next big thing in publishing and I know if we keep pushing ourselves, we'll go far.

Building my brand...

You know, I haven't been this energized and excited EVER! I have finally figured out what to do with all this writing talent that has been simmering in my head and slowly seeping its way out my fingers.

I'm building a brand.

Blog by blog, little by little.

The Young Mommy Life is just the start of this brand.

I'm going to branch out into food, fashion, home decor, finance. With a little bit of everything. EBooks, cookbooks, regular books, radio shows, magazine articles, everything. It's time for the young mom to be recognized and respected! Who's with me?
