Congratulations to the IWSG!

Congratulations to Alex Cavanaugh and the IWSG team. I believe it was less than a year ago that Alex said he wanted the IWSG to make the top 100 list of writing spots, and he did it. There are times when I feel totally frustrated with all things. I'll want to lose weight, hit the best seller list, and create a house that is totally Pinterest pin worthy...and I want to do them all yesterday.

Brain chaos and goal diffusion are probably my biggest weaknesses and do more to propagate insecurity than anything else. It's energy sapping, frustrating, and a total pain in the arse.

That's why it's good to have friends like Alex. Level-headed role models who are reminders that hard work, focus, and dedication to the details pays off in the end.

Now, I need to go. I must go weed my flower beds.

If only life was idyllic...

Be summer happy!

  5. Yay for Alex. He's like the silent supporter that pulls for all of us. However, I can assure you that brain chaos attacks us all.
    Wishing you the best.

  6. I wholeheartedly agree with all you said about ISWG and Alex's hard work to get where it is.

    You will get a best seller one of these days, I am sure of it.

  13. Hey Elizabeth,

    A mention of IWSG and hey, I almost come out of hibernation. Of course, there was a rumour circulating that IWSG meant "I Was Seeking Gary"! LOL

    Weeding can help reduce brain chaos.

    Congrats to all at IWSG.

    Thank you, Elizabeth.

    Gary :)

  14. Lose weight, clean house, get rid of weeds, write bestseller--Dude! We have the same to-do list!

  15. Such awesomeness for IWSG, eh? We were weeding yesterday--one of those jobs that NEVER ends in Florida. I would like to lose weight too, but probably not for another 2 months...or so they tell me. Here's to getting done what we can as we go and not sweating the rest, eh?

  18. Oh yeah, focus does make a difference. I have been trying to get a lot done at the same time, and ended up getting nothing done. Now I'm starting with one thing at a time, and I'm checking them off one by one.
