Breathe in, breathe out (repeat)

OK, I'm trying not to panic, but I have to face the fact: I am simply not getting far enough fast enough on my manuscript. Any words of wisdom to be had out there in blog land? I know the best three have been trademarked by Nike. ...Which reminds me.... I wonder what I'd have to pay Nike to include a chapter in my book called "Just Do It." Clearly, just doing it is one tried-and-true way of leaving one's 40s -- one might call it The Original.

Anyway, I apologize for being so absent from this blog. I'll keep pushing to improve -- but if I have to choose between making progress on my book or making progress on my blog, well, you KNOW which one I'll choose.

Meanwhile, any and all pep talks for affecting a desperately needed quantum leap in my productivity will be gladly accepted.

Love,
Sheila

"The Loofah Lady is gone!" And indeed I was, along with my trustee sidekick and coauthor, Dr. Peg ---- off to tape another interview across town. (This was in Phoenix.) Let me see if we've got that one linked here -- it's called "Your Life: A to Z" ...
