One Step at a Time

My writing workload today is huge, almost overwhelming.  I have a very large  grant that needs to be finished.  That means I need to get about 100 pages written in the next couple of days. I also have a grant review and critique to write for a client, several book reviews that I promised to other authors, blog posts, a newsletter, and some website edits.

The question that keeps streaming through my mind is, "How am I going to get all of this done in the next couple of days?"

The answer - One step at a time.  or maybe it would be more accurate to say one word at a time.

Here's what I know:  The more I think about it and worry about how I'm going to get it done, the more I lose precious writing time. The time will be much better spent by getting started with the writing.

Here's something else I know:  Once I get into the flow of writing, time flies and I seem to be able to get more done than I think.

So, like everything else in life, it's all about taking that first step.
