Weekend Update - 3/29/2014

I have postponed work on Jack & Justine and added the two pieces in Ínarú that I originally sketched but never made.  They have similar colors, green being the one they all share.  I've also figured out the "ideal" baby nap/mommy work time.  If it doesn't happen, it's counted as half an hour chill time and we continue the day until about 2 hours later when baby nap/mommy work time is a must (mostly to avoid a cranky baby).  If I can't get work in because of some other reason, I work for a little bit after he's gone to sleep for the night and I try to wake up a little earlier the following day.

Besides the update I wanted to share this motivational video I came across.  It can really get to a person, so you've been warned.  ;o)

Making Time

(source)

One of the things I most struggle with is the one a lot of people struggle with also: time.  "I don't have time for that" is something I'm sure has been said once or twice before.  This whole "launch" has postponed over and over because of that.  I have my schedule which I really try to follow, and most of the time I do, but sometimes something happens and I abandon it.  I just got tired/frustrated/aggravated/upset that I wasn't doing what I wanted to do.  And not only what I wanted to do but what inside I felt I NEEDED to do. Maybe it's a stay-at-home-mom thing, I dont know. I was just...like I said, tired/frustrated/aggravated/upset.

Why Can't I Do This?

Since I've had to add to the list of things I have to do, I haven't been able to work on NE-Things as much as I want to.  I've done work mentally of course.  You know: what do I need to do, how I can fix it, no that won't work, how about this, where did I put that?  But to sit and do physical work?  Nope.  Not on Ínarú. Not on Jack & Justine.  And according to my vision board, I am slightly behind.  Considering April is a week away, I am actually VERY far behind.  That's why I had to make a decision.

Weekend Update - 3/22/2014

This week has been a slow one for NE-Things, but that's nothing new I guess.  I did some work on Jack & Justine and posted a word count desktop wallpaper for sale on Sellfy.  I've been able to reorganize Ínarú and make the collection a little more cohesive for me than it was before.  When I did the original sketching for Ínarú I had two pieces that I sketched but never did because I wasn't sure how I was going to make them.  

New on Sellfy

Do you know about NaNoWriMo and Camp NaNoWriMo?  I've been wanting to do it for a long time, but as you can tell by my other posts, I have time problems.  LOL  Anyways, last year, I wanted to participate in the April session of Camp, but though I sat down to write on a couple of days, I couldn't finish the month.  I even made a desktop wallpaper calendar for the month.  Every time the laptop went on I would see it and I would try to carve out some time to sit and write.  When the next day came and I turned on the laptop, I saw how many words I missed the day before and it kind of sucked.  I made the calendar like if it was one of those wooden message boards one would see at a summer camp. It DID motivate me, but it's just the whole time issue.  I admire so much those writers who take care of a family and a home and still have time to write.  I must admit...I'm kind of jealous.  Anywayyys...
