I started my new full-time job this week (after a week of non-writing due to a bout of houseguestitis, with lovely guests, of course) and I realize that I will have to work hard at creating a writing schedule. Eight hours of office work isn't exactly inspirational. My delightful Nora suggested setting aside a few days to write each week so I won't feel guilty about not writing everyday...just on specific days. Not a bad idea. This will require major discipline and a serious absence of procrastination. We'll see.
I also have to fit some exercise in the day, somehow. My fun walking group is toying with the idea of attempting the Santa Barbara Half Marathon in November. I found a reasonable training schedule online, but once again major self-discipline will be involved. Group activities are less easy to ignore...maybe I should try group writing?
Fall is the time of year I make my New Year's resolutions. I suppose it's because I have worked in schools for so long that I am accustomed to thinking of fall as the time for new beginnings.

I see I got a little distracted from my resolution theme...but it isn't quite fall, yet.
