Hello there! Happy Writemas.
In all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I always find myself unable to make a decision about my own gifts. I love to give gifts. I rarely struggle to find a gift for someone else. For myself? Well, that is another story. And while I typically enjoy things like candles and candy, I thought I would get something to help me this year with my writing and simple day-to-day activities.
Actually, I thought about that moment when I didn't want to get on the computer and search through my calendar. And the potential moment when everything goes down and I need to look at my calendar information. Okay...in all technicality, that likely won't happen. But you cannot tell my brain that.
The gift I gave myself is a 2018 daily planner and a hanging weekly calendar. It wasn't expensive. In fact, it was $4.00 USD. I gave myself a four dollar gift. A four dollar gift that will always remind me that I am not making my goals on time. Isn't that great?
What I have found is that I, as a writer, sometimes ignore my "set" deadlines. I don't write anything down because it isn't concrete then is it? I give myself wiggle room. For 2018, I am trying to be more organized with my writing schedule and remove any "wiggle" room.
What is that one writer gift you want? Or one that you have given yourself in 2017?
