    Send Some MoJo My Way, Please!

    Just a 30-second rant, here. Humor me. I am working on an article that is due in 6 days. I have no doubt I will get it done; I am more than halfway finished. I am just not feeling it, though! The topic of this article is something that is extremely familiar to me and I should be having an easy time of it…but I’m not!

After meeting with Manic Mommy on Monday (which I posted about on my other blog), I was very, very motivated to write. She and I talked alot about finding/making the time to write and I told her that I had an article that I had been intending to work on for months and months, but when the book stuff got into full gear my article writing all but stopped. Okay, it did stop. Until yesterday. I sat my butt down at the computer and wrote this 1850-word article from start to finish:…
