Five Years
The question “do I want to be doing this five years from now?” is a very helpful rubric for deciding on how to spend our time now. I get to choose the path I take. So why do I make it so hard?

Taking a moment to look back at how far I’ve come before looking to the immediate future again.

Part of my Slow Productivity switch has been changing my morning routine. I’m only a few days in, but it seems to be working so far…

Sugar, No Spice, and Everything Nice
Weekly coffee chat: Writing a Christmas romance in a heat wave, breaking through writer’s block, and new character art for Every Star that Shines.
