Welcome to "Why I'm Not Writing." We all know that the only thing writers like doing more than writing is avoiding writing. So every Friday I list five things that have distracted me from my writing that week.
I also encourage you to share with me what made you procrastinate this week by posting with #whyimnotwriting on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram, or share in the comments below. I'll feature my favorites with everyone here.
Germany River Cruise
We’re on the last full day of our river cruise through Germany. The last week has both been somehow long but also way too short and I can’t believe it’s almost over. We’ll be flying back home early tomorrow morning and probably spending the rest of the weekend just relaxing.
Christmas Markets
At a few of our stops we’ve been able to visit the famous Christmas Markets, which are already set up in the larger cities. It’s been so great to experience this tradition and pick up some great gifts to bring home to our friends and family for Christmas.
Jet Lag
Unsurprisingly, the jet lag has hit me pretty hard during our travels. I also seem to struggle with the time changes, no matter how much I plan ahead. I’m hopeful that when I get back home, I’ll have a night or two to catch up on sleep before I jump back into the real world.
NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo ends TOMORROW! If this is your first year doing NaNo, or if you’ve struggled to win in the past, check out my social media channels on Twitter , Facebook and Instagram for daily tips and tricks to help you crush your word count.
December Hiatus
In case you missed the announcement on Tuesday, I’ll be going on hiatus for the month of December. I need some time to recharge after a crazy year and I have some big life changes coming up that I need to prepare for. I’ll also be doing a full site redesign, so get excited!
