Yesterday I probably had the worst day at work that I’ve had in a very long time.  At first I thought I need to react; I need to take care of this.  The more I thought about it though, the more I realized that this is just a distraction from my ultimate goal of becoming a writer.  I need to double down and make more time for writing.  So far I have not been very successful in writing every day, writing 500 words of my book every day, keeping up with homework, and keeping up with life in general like cleaning and exercise.  It’s so hard when there is so much and so many distractions from what is really important.  I am so lucky to have such a supportive family that reminds me to keep going and that my goals, hopes, and dreams are not silly.  I often feel silly.  Who am I to want to be a published author?  What a childish goal.  Stick with your job that gives you a consistent salary.  And of course one that I think a lot of us are familiar with, You’re not good enough.  All distractions.  I am quieting the voices and getting back to work.
