I bought this book by Kelly L Stone called, Time to Write, which is great, and I love it, but I almost didn't get it. Why, you ask? Because, I almost didn't have TIME TO GO TO THE STORE TO PICK IT UP!

Seriously. I ordered it from the bookstore, and they held it for me for like a jazillion months. They called me. They emailed me. They begged me. "Manic, hello. It's us again. Can you please come get this freaking book that's taking up like one inch by six inches of space behind our desk?"

Finally, I called them and asked if they still had the book. They said it was on hold for one more day. This was a sign! I had to get the book! I finally had the TIME TO BUY IT.

Then, I had to find TIME to read TIME TO WRITE so I could figure out how to actually find TIME TO WRITE.

It's a god-awful process I tell you. But I have read through some of it, and it's really good, it makes complete sense. So logical! So inspiring. It basically says, "You want to write, you gotta do it."

I want to write! Hey, I'm writing right now. I'M FINDING TIME TO WRITE! Miracle of all miracles! This book WORKS!! I must contact the author and tell her that her book is amazing! And it is, because all joking aside, I have taken Kelly Stone's advice since my initial 2008 resolution of Monday through Thursday 12-1:30 writing slot didn't quite work out, and revamped it a bit.

Now, for the past three days, I've been getting out of bed at 6:13 a.m. To write.
