Romanticizing my author life
I told myself that I would cancel my spa appointment and noodle lunch if I didn’t get my goals.
And then I remembered that I have ADHD—reward based goals don’t work for me lol
So I said that after my spa appointment and noodle lunch, I’ll finish stitching together my edits, and upload my tax paperwork via my accountant’s client portal (I already filed an extension).
By tonight, Riding the Centaur Lord will be off to alpha and beta readers before going to another editor.
Being an author is a journey filled with ups and downs. Many writers share similar experiences, including dealing with distractions, managing deadlines, and finding motivation amidst chaos. Setting achievable writing goals is crucial, especially for those with ADHD. Break tasks into smaller steps to maintain focus. Incorporating self-care, like spa days and favorite meals, can enhance productivity and creativity. Explore tips on establishing a routine that accommodates personal needs and preferences. Embrace the unique rhythm of your writing life and connect with a community that understands these challenges. As ‘Riding the Centaur Lord’ reaches new readers, consider how your own stories resonate with others, adding depth and relatability to your author journey.
