Editing and more editing - ROW80 check-in

Well, it seems as if all my goals have fallen by the wayside as I continue to edit and rewrite my plant book. That and look after the household and kids. It seems like I'm working all day, every day and I'm still afraid that I won't meet the end of the month deadline for edits/rewrites. It doesn't help that this coming week is March break so I have one child home full-time. And my husband is out of town so I have to do all the meals, look after all the pets (and there are 12 of them!) and try to stay sane for 10 days. Okay, now that that's out of the way... I am enjoying reconnecting with the plant book in such an intimate way. I love looking through my photos for better illustrations of the plant in question. It takes me on a journey back to Nunavut, the land that I love and left in September. Good thing I am enjoying the process or it would be driving me crazy!

I don't know how people juggle more than one WIP. I miss writing new stuff but I just can't manage it while doing this editing. At least I am still reading before bed and writing in my journal. And I had a poetic moment the other day - but nothing concrete resulted. I am still processing.

I hope you are all continuing with your goals!!

What a wonderful world!

I just watched this video on youtube and it's just glorious! Makes me want to travel and see the natural wonders of the world. Oh I've got some of them covered by having been many places in the Arctic but there is so much more to see. It just gives me such a zest for life to see this. I had to share it. I hope you like it too!!

welcome Sunday - ROW80 check-in

It's been such a busy time with revising and editing that I haven't been able to do anything else except keep up with the meals and housework. So I won't elaborate on my goals because I have not met them. I'm not too upset because with the revising work having a quick deadline, I have no choice but to do this work.

The thing I am more upset about is not making time to exercise, paint, or read much. I really need to make my schedule more Carolyn health-friendly. That will be my goal this week as well as keeping up with the editing. I don't know how the time goes by so quickly while editing and revising but it does.

So here's to a healthier, more relaxed editing self this coming week!!
