I remember years ago I wondered where I would or could find the time, now I just make time. Occasionally we all get off track from time to time but we just have to keep starting over and never give up. I need to apply this to other parts of my life.xoxLaunna https://www.blogger.com/profile/09447311902825477772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-8334752995410350242015-09-06T16:21:12.307-04:002015-09-06T16:21:12.307-04:00Congratulations to Meradeth!

Whenever my art depresses me, people tell me to just take a day or two off, but I know the moment I do that, I probably won't be able to get back into the habit and would just quit art for good, heh. So yeah, hurray for routines!<br /><br />And oh, I remember that short story of yours. Already left it some comment love a while back! ;)Heather R.

We would meet at 9 or 10 and workout until lunch, eat and then I'd go home nap and then write until aboiut 5or 6 every day. I'm thinking about maybe joining a gym.

I'm sure everyone else in the world has already watched Bones. I just forced myself to turn the TV off, and I'm visiting a few blogs before turning back to my WIP.<br /><br />For realsies.
