Roar Of A Lioness: Juggle As Fast As You Can

(It's "J" week...)

And my life has turned into a Juggling act.

Last week’s post detailed my pursuit of a platform. It’s a lot of work and could easily overwhelm. Many of my writer friends (especially the moms who home school their kids and write in between) deal with these issues.

I can relate: My circus has come to town.

My already Jam-packed existence led me to take a cue from my Job. I’m an executive secretary for the Warden of a prison and our office is the hub of the institution. The unexpected (which happens routinely) can Jump off at any moment, causing me to stop, drop, and roll on a regular basis. My plates can only continue to spin with the use of super-structure techniques.

So when the writing-pursuit-of-greatness ramped up, it seemed only natural to apply the same principals.

Today, I hopped out of bed with my brain already in the spin cycle…so much to do…

Morning tasks, drink coffee, computer stuff.
Jumped into some platform-building (unexpected but fruitful.)
Needed to stop and eat—noted messy kitchen--deal with that later.
Exercise. Oh good grief! Why do I have to waste time on THAT?

Writing muse threw a tantrum. Stopped to calm him down.
Jotted a few lines on a pressing project—got hung up on FaceBook, Words with Friends, and Twitter. (Note to self: shut off email and internet.)
Prayer and devotions: Why is THIS so far down on the list?
Tapped out a grocery list as I buzzed around the house. (Thank goodness for my IPhone.)
Patted each kitty and the dog as I passed by. Don’t ya just love the unconditional love of a pet?
Still need to exercise. *sigh*
Housework and laundry and shopping…oh my!
