This month, I need more than ever to be accountable for every day. It's the only way I'll meet my deadlines.
I love David Rutherford's Froglogic about creating opportunities to fail. I set extremely high word counts. I don't make it, but I make it a whole lot closer than when I set low word counts.

Praying for you as you press on one day at a time!
Thanks so much for sharing that, Margaret! It's perfect!
