I thought about taking a few days off from blogging this week. Usually I try to blog MWF and sometimes on Sunday. But with A to Z Challenge starting this coming Sunday, I considered taking a mini-vacation from blogging and skipping today and Friday. But part of being a writer is having the discipline to not slack off even if no one is watching.
A few things are working against my regular schedule this week. My daughter has three high school softball games this week on, you guessed it, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My husband is going out of town Thursday through Sunday and the grass really must be mowed this weekend. Lots of other little duties are requiring my time and attention over the next few days the largest of which is getting my posts ready for A to Z.
But I have discipline and I believe good things will come to those who work hard. One of many good things for me this week was this new review for The Keepers of Sulbreth from Dennis Royer on Amazon. Thanks, Dennis.
On a more personal level, my daughter received a terrific scholarship offer from Boston University, settling her agonizing decision of where to go to college. She worked so hard for this, we were all a bit giddy to see her get what she's earned come to fruition. The only down side is that she'll be seven hours away from home.
So, I'm going to discipline myself, stick to my blogging schedule, get all my A to Z posts ready and still find some time to work on my writing.
Have some good things come your way lately? Are you disciplined with your writing time?

Good for you!
That's great news about the review and your daughter's scholarship. :)
That's good news about your daughter and good luck in her games! I am visiting from the A to Z challenge...good luck!
That's terrific news about your daughter. Congratulations to her!
I am very undisciplined and I have not gotten all my posts ready for A to Z. Plus, I can't figure out why my schedule post won't work. Yikes! :)
Congrats to your daughter though I understand having a hard time with the distance. Discipline? Have they started selling that? Cause I would like some, please.
Fantastic! Many congrats to your daughter - what an accomplishment.
Congratulations to your daughter! That's terrific news!!
And no. I am not disciplined with my writing. Not by any stretch of anyone's imagination.
Much fun wishes to you for the A to Z Challenge. I don't play the game of A to Z, but I'll be on the side lines cheering you along.
Fantastic on the scholarship.
Great news for your daughter!
I'm sticking to my schedule, even as I try to cram in writing time for my next book before the insanity of April unleashes itself.
Boston University - that is wonderful.
The last two weeks I've forced myself back into a blogging habit. Hosting a blogfest for Friday got me back into the routine of visiting bloggers. Hopefully I am ready for next month.
I've just started blogging regularly again and using the A-Z challenge to get back in the groove. I played along last year and really enjoyed it. I'm a new follower :)
Congrats to your daughter on the scholarship! It's so nice when hard work and dedication pay off! I'm excited about the challenge too :)
I could say I'm disciplined about writing...but it's more like being obsessed with it. I'm trying to finish my blog about Tanzania before the A to Z Challenge starts next week...and I need to get back to my WIP now that I can no longer use "jet lag" as an excuse.
Congratulation on your daughter's scholarship! That's so fantastic, Sue! And that's great news on the Amazon review, too.
I'm disciplined with so many other things in my life, except writing and eating. I really need to get on those!
Can't wait to see what you come up with this year on the A to Z!
Yay for good reviews and huge congratulations to your daughter :-)
