In reply to Jillian Pearl. Thank you, they are better, and like you, I see the improvement, but it's not quite what I had hoped. But I'm doing my best to be glad of the steps forward and not stress over not hitting what I'd hoped for. I'm close, and that's worth being happy over :) And just because my year hasn't unfold exactly how I'd hoped and planned, it's not over yet. By the time 2018 rolls around, I could get everything I'd wanted to do, done.

I had a rough 2016 too. I hope things are better for you this year. They have been for me, but I still find myself not being as productive as I want to be. Thanks for the sound advice on how to make the most of my time. Being critical of yourself only hurts. I know, because last year it sent my recovery off track.

In reply to Linda Lee. So sorry to hear that. It's hard, but we should try to be happy with any movement toward our goals, no matter how small. All progress is good progress!

I've always had a difficult time, writing a 'to-do' list - when I get to my writing desk, I just want to DO. But I love the idea of writing a 'done' list at the end of the day, when I'm too tired to be creative, but not too tired to figure out exactly what I accomplished that day. Excellent. I empathize with Linda Lee's comments. Our 'life' certainly gets in the way of our writing. With a sick mom who lives far away, my hours are eaten up at times, but of course, they're important hours. I find that writing a blog post every week keeps me on focus with what's important in our lives - those we love and writing about them, fictionally or non-fictionally, when we finally get to our writing pad or keyboard.
