Today is 26th December. The day after Christmas (if you do that sort of thing).
And because it was Christmas Day yesterday, everything is closed so there is nowhere to go, plus it rained all day, which is unusual for this part of Australia, but the rain did break a 6-month drought for which we are all thankful. And today the sun is shining again.
I don't do the Christmas thing and our plans to spend time picnicking and swimming with friends who also don't follow the flock when it comes to this time of year, was scuppered by the bad weather, not that I would have stayed there all day.
I would have left early anyway because I had plans, and I find it emotionally draining to socialize for too long.
The 25th of December is always my day to plan my writing projects for the next 12 months.
So I locked myself in my writing room at the back of the house and looked through all my notebooks, and plotted and planned what I'm going to be working on for the next 12 months. And I'm going to start work on it all today. Not New Years Day. Why wait?
And strangely, locking myself away from the rest of the world in my Grinch-like way is something I always enjoy. I just close the door, listen to an audio that helps me concentrate, and get to work.
I would tell you what my plans are, but I won't because no matter how good the plans and how well I've mapped it all out, things happen. Every year things happen that take me away from my writing so I always spend time trying to catch up. Sometimes it's things that have to take priority and I don't get to choose what happens. But I do get to choose how I deal with it.
But this all impacts on my writing time in a negative way.
And to be honest, losing writing time and having to lock myself away in my Grinch-like style so that I can try and catch up, isn't such a bad thing. I don't mind doing that. I often come into my writing room at night and work for a few hours too. I used to call it my office, but that sounds, well, just too officious. Calling it a writing room makes it sound much more like the creative space that it is.
So, for now, I'm going to keep my writing plans to myself.
But one thing I will tell you is that my latest book will be published next month (January 2020).
I've already had the book cover put up on the sales page (which isn't finished yet) just so you can take a sneak peek.
It's called, Mission Critical For Life: Start Living Life On Your Terms By Pursuing Your True Life Mission.
This book will help you to write more than you ever have done before once you make writing your mission and prioritize it. And I'll tell you EXACTLY how to do it.
I'll give you more updates about it soon.
In the meantime, what are your writing plans? If you don't know, it's time to start planning.
