Honestly it is a daunting task

I write from home and home IS home, so how do I achieve the separation? I have no idea!

My laptop is turned on as I head into the kitchen for my morning coffee and then it sits idlily by waiting for my fingers to begin pecking away. Now this is where it gets tricky. What to write about.

I consider myself an overthinker, love it and hate it, and my mind is always spinning. Lately though, my writing has been focused on ‘Mental Health Awareness Month,’ as May we celebrate it. It hasn’t been overly difficult to take me away from other chores because it just flows, and I can walk away from my seat anytime I like.

Things change back at night, when I’m lying in bed, I wonder, what’s next. Yet then it’s only the subject and the words that flow come blindsided. The ‘Meet Me’s’ I publish are fun, yet folks don’t really understand how time consuming one small article can be. Can often take three days to write. In those nightly thoughts, I also, spin different scenarios on wording and techniques I want to apply, yet never takes notes.

I know a bit about a lot of things but cyphering them like Jethro Bodine on the Beverly Hillbillies, does not mean ‘two nots’ make a go. It has to be something you want to read! In the end I usually toss something out there like this in hopes it sticks, much like our politicians do with their bull shit promises.

The worst part is when I’m on a roll and I know I need to stop for the day. For those instances I’ve learned to just ‘shut it down’ and take care of the home and myself as needed.

Doesn’t sound much of a balancing act but it works for me.
