As part of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2009, I don’t want to take on too many projects that will cause me to feel overwhelmed. This is mainly because I don’t want my writing career to supercede my family. So as I’m prayerfully considering the projects I accept (which I have already blown, but God is good), I still need to organize myself so I can tackle the deadlines I have on hand.

So I have decided to do a little each day. Even if it’s reading a couple of pages of research, or praying about a topic for a Bible story I need to write and then jotting down a few notes, I am still doing something to meet my deadline. I put this plan into effect a few days ago and I have already completed one article, picked up several research materials from the library, posted to two of my blogs, and printed out some word lists I need for two stories I have to write. Step by step I will be able to get my work done.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your writing workload? Allow yourself to do a little each day. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish.
