It is better to achieve a modest goal than to get depressed about failing to reach a massive one.Terri mainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084883478386476891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326040516136184275.post-18118586603644708912012-01-02T13:40:20.992-08:002012-01-02T13:40:20.992-08:00Terri, great tips.

Seriously, teaching takes a bit of boldness and certainty (even if you don't feel it inside). <br /><br />I guess I'm thinking action plans right now, because I'm building mine for retirement at the end of this school year. In five months, I'll be going full-time as a writer/teacher/photographer on my own. So, everyday I'm building on that. <br /><br />I have online classes going on right now in Novel Writing, but will be starting with a few more in February. But my big push will be this summer. But these classes are priming the pump and getting me ready to expand. <br /><br />Today, I'm going to be working on publicity materials. It's right on my calendar. I'm also going to be editing some of my next novel (something that got buried under "real life.")<br /><br />I have a variety of medical issues and without a plan, I would get nothing done. But trust me, this came about not through revelation as much as stumbling around too long with an unfocused way of working.Terri mainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084883478386476891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326040516136184275.post-66323078709836592432012-01-02T12:34:36.920-08:002012-01-02T12:34:36.920-08:00Thanks for the great tips.

It took a drill sergeant to turn this crazy kid into a man.<br />You are spot on, which makes you a rare duck these days. Your advice is so good, we should all heed your words. I know I intend to do that.<br />And thanks, Heather, for bringing Terri's great advice to us.<br />Cheers, <br />PDPat Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190006506963492515noreply@blogger.com
