How Waiting is a Thief of Joy
If I think about it, I am always waiting. Like right now, I’m sitting on the end of my son’s bed waiting for him to go to sleep. Earlier in the day, I was waiting until the kids got home from school, or waiting until the kettle boiled, or waiting until something else. Parents in particular, we always seem to be waiting for something related to the kids, right?
It’s all too much waiting!

Writing Advice: Just Do The Thing.
Sometimes I forget the MOST important piece of writing advice... Well, maybe I don't forget, maybe I just ignore it for a while. It's hard to do the thing, and I don't want to do it. Doing things isn't fun. Scrolling on social media and refreshing my news feed seems much more fun.
