in the last 45 days, I have taken on a lot of writing projects.  I am working on being more consistent with my blog. I am working on some freelance articles.  I am working on an article for a magazine.  I am honing my writing skills and my butt and my brain hurt!<\/span>

<\/span>Writing is exhilarating, fun, terrifying, frustrating and challenging all at the same time.  While I am writing my blog, I am trying to think about the message I want to send so I think and I think some more – brain hurts!<\/span>
While writing the freelance articles, I have to research and write and rewrite – butt and brain hurt!<\/span>
While writing the magazine article I have to sit and tweak, cut words, change words, edit, edit and edit some more – butt hurts!<\/span>

<\/span>Writing is something I really love to do.  As Jeff Goins says, “you are a writer when you say you are.”  Well, I am saying I am so what am I doing about it?  Writing and writing some more.  You can’t write while walking around so you sit.  Some people can write while standing at a tall desk, but not me!  I would spend more time worrying about the fact that I am standing up all day and then my feet would hurt!  <\/span>

<\/span>My butt and my brain are engaged in activities out of the ordinary but that is okay; it is the kind of hurt that you know will all be worth it!  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
