And...back to work!

I took a day and rested yesterday.  After all the effort that went into getting the books ready and uploaded, I was tired.  I’m still a bit tired, but it’s getting better.  Still, I’m a writer.  It’s what I do.  I feel complete when I’m writing.  Today I got back to my regular routine and started writing again.

I’m taking more breaks now, as I am still a bit tired.  I’m now a published author!  Goal one achieved.  Now I want to keep writing and sharing stories.  

The longer I write, the more I learn how to make my writing sustainable in my life.  I currently take Saturdays off my normal writing routine and write later when I feel like it.  Maybe I’ll write on my stories, and maybe it’s my personal writings instead, but I still write.  I’m going to add a second day a week of a more relaxed schedule for myself.  Probably Wednesday, I think.  That way I don’t have to go too long until I get a rest.  Many people only work a five day week, and some people work four days.  The four day work week has shown to be more productive for many people.  I only work about four hours a day, maybe five, so a five day work week sounds ideal.

My stories are coming along well.  The sequel is about half done the first/second draft.  The martial arts book is a little less complete, and that’s okay.  My erotica/romance is back to being worked on and is much closer to being completed.  Now that I have my afternoons back, I can work on all three as I want, or any two on any given day.

At any rate, I feel best when I am writing.  I want to write.  I recognize the importance of rest days and not always pushing hard as I write, but letting the stories flow from me.  As I need to, I adjust my schedule and habits to get the best results.

At any rate, I’m an author now!
