This is a blog about my journeys along the road to (hopefully) finding an agent and (eventually?) publication. And a little bit of everything else.
1. Gotta Get My Life Together

I have so many things to beta read! I want to comment more on blogs and forums than I currently do. Then there are constant little errand type things that don't get done until the last possible minute because I "don't have time." I say I don't have time for anything. Although I am a legitimately busy person, I waste a lot of time, too. Sometimes, I play on the internet for indeterminate (no, I'm not going to admit to a number) amounts of time, lurking on forums and the like, when I could be: a) editing my own stuff; b) critiquing for others; c) reading something on my huge-and-growing TBR pile; d) doing something else productive!

The funny thing is...I thought I saved so much time by cutting TV out for the most part. Now, it seems like I just transferred most of that time to playing on the internet. I need to come up with a plan. The thing is--I don't like schedules. Never have, never will.

Maybe that'll be my New Year's resolution: to get organized.

How do you get/stay organized?
