The Journey Starts Today

So, although I have too many blogs to actually count, this one is important. It is for me. I am starting my writing resource today! I have enlisted my husband, the famous Adriean Koleric to help me. His stuff is cooler than most. This is to be a record of my journey.

 Step One: Publicly declare you are writing a book.

I AM WRITING A BOOK!! 

Step Two: Print out your previous attempts.
 

WHAT'S THAT NOISE? WHO IS PRINTING ALL THAT?

UPDATE: I have written too much to print. I have so many previous "starts" to writing a book that I even astounded myself. So I am adding another sub step.

SUBSET of Step Two: Go down the wormhole of previous attempts and make a list of the inventory of unfinished attempts. Tell yourself, "I am glad I actually wrote this stuff. Then remind yourself...that..." you are NOT a loser, you are just a winner that has not won yet." Note that the last quote was created from a six year old when I was visiting a school. Kids are wise.  

Step Three: Create a project binder.

OUCH! BINDER RING MADNESS

UPDATE: I think my binder might need to be digital, though lots of paper in a binder would feed the ego and I am hungry these days!!!


Stay Tuned...this ride will get crazy and likely funny as I attempt to finish. If you are also trying to finish something...please read this book by Jon Acuff...aptly titled FINISH: Give Yourself the Gift of Done!

If you are reading this, know that I am writing for myself, for the first time in a long time.
