Putting the work first

It has taken a lot of therapy and a very long time (nearly 43 years!) but I am finally seeing how taking my needs seriously helps me be a better mum, a better partner and a better friend. With November being National Novel Writing Month, I am excited to be working on my novel re-write but even more excited to be putting my work and the words I need to write before everything else. These next two books, a pair of novels about a family, are crying out for my attention and I am finally ready to give my needs, and those words, my full attention.
