On Your Mark, Get Set, Panic!
Okay, I'm officially there. I have slid into panic mode. As August evaporates and September pushes its way into my face, I realize that I have just six weeks left to finish this book. GULP!
Take deep breaths, Kristin ... deep breaths.
Look at the bright side -- I'm over half way. I have just three secret societies left to write about. That's good, yes?
Yes, except that I have to research each one before I can do the writing. That's two weeks per society. Originally I had three weeks. (More gulping and deep breathing.)
But I can do it. I just have to work faster, read faster, think faster, write faster. And ignore all the other parts of my life. Forget housework and cooking. Stop running errands. Tell my sister she can't come to visit. Hang up on my mother and kids when they call. Stop answering emails. Jam out on my volunteer commitments. Skip my dentist and eye doctor appointments.
All right so I have a plan. Blinders on and full speed ahead.
Honey, you're on your own. The fridge is full. The laundry soap is in the cupboard. See you in six weeks.
