Busy Busy Bee

Have you seen that commercial on tv, the guy is sitting at his desk doing nothing, and the phone rings.  He picks it up really fast and says “Busy!” then slams it down and continues staring at the wall.  A friend walks by and says hello, he turns to him and says “Can’t talk now! Busy busy bee!” 

It is a hysterical commercial!  But I sometimes feel like that.  I am constantly working, but not seeing much come out of it.  For example I clean my house like I have OCD and it is still a disaster!  Benefits of having kids I guess.  Or with my volunteer writing duties, I feel like as soon as I finish one another pops up.  With more and more duties I was piling on I noticed a decline in my writing time.  So I’ve stepped back from a few things, and finished up a few projects to allow more writing time. 

I just finished up coordinating a category for a contest, and today I will be starting another, and I also have some entries to judge from another contest.  While they can be crazy for a time, it slows down rather quickly too, and I don’t think I’ll do any more contest judging until next year.

I have a chapter newsletter to write, and my weekly blog on History Undressed to plan out and write.  In addition to that I am finally solely concentrating on the novel I’ve been editing for a year.  I am determined to get it finished up this month and sent out.

I started out 2008 with about 8 WIP’s.  I’ve sent in 3 already. and after I finish the above mentioned novel, I will only have 4 more to complete and send in. 

How are you all doing?  Are you busy bees?
