LISTIFYLIFE CHALLENGE Week 2

 

ListifyLife –THE BOOK I’D LIKE TO LIVE IN FOR A WHILE

The book I’d like to live in for a while was not an easy topic for me.

A good book is about how much an author can torture the characters. Really make them suffer. They have to go through quite a bit to reach that happy ending. Sometimes the places where they live aren’t La-La Land.

I’ve lived in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Texas and Delaware. Life in all of these places was good to me. I have wonderful memories of each. I’ve written stories that took place in most of these places and life was good for my characters by the end of the book. But getting there-not so much.

When it comes to a book, I’d want to move in during the Epilogue. By then the bad guys are behind bars, the sun has come out, the couple has kissed and made up and all is right with the world again.

LISTIFYLIFE CHALLENGE

I am a goal orientated person. Nothing gives me more pleasure than making a list of things that I need to get done and then checking them off.

This year I decided I wanted to get more organized. I wanted to keep track of what I ate, how many words I write, how many pages I edit, when my newsletter is due, when I workout and the list goes on and on.

I’ve purchased four planners and more pens in more colors than I care to count. I’ve got stickers and clips and post-its. I should be the most organized and accomplished person on the east coast. Am I any closer to getting more stuff done?

Sticker Stuff

No, I’m not. But I’ve found a way to make keeping track of stuck so much more fun. That’s why I decided to participate in the ListifyLife Challenge. The ListifyLife challenge is the brainchild of Roni Loren. Sierra Godfrey came up with the gorgeous graphics.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
