Losing Track

Do you ever find yourself losing track of things that are important to you because life has distracted you? Well, that's what has happened with me. I was asked yesterday whether or not I had a blog and realized that I did, but I had lost track of it. Wow! Writing is important to me, but somehow I've let life distract me.

As the president of the Little Rock Chapter of American Christian Writers, I started the blog, so I could tell others how easy it is to create a blog. The part I am beginning to understand now is how hard it is to maintain it. One needs to have a schedule and a plan. As I mentioned in my Honeymooners article, life gets complicated and goes by quickly.

Having a plan for our writing is the Little Rock Chapter of American Christian Writers' focus for 2010. If we don't have a plan, which is like our road map, then we will never reach our destination. So, here I am implementing a new plan for me. For now, my challenge is to write one blog a week.

What one thing is important to you that you've put off? Why have you put it off? What kind of plan can you put in place to help you to achieve your goal? Put it in writing and get a friend to help hold you accountable. Good luck!
