Time of Great Forgetting!!!
It’s That Time Again…
The time when a bunch of other things take writer’s attentions, all seemingly more important, and the writing and publishing just sort of get forgotten.
This is not a problem for professional writers, but for those coming in and striving to build a publishing business, this time can just make months vanish. And sometimes even professional writers need a focus to get through.
Kris and I have been talking about this for a few weeks now, and she has come up with a really fun idea I will talk a about here in a few days when all the details are worked out. I think it will really help a lot of writers get through these coming months at full steam. And she really wants to extra focus during this time as well.
So this post is a reminder to many of you that the Time of Great Forgetting is coming. Being aware that these few months do exist and the forgetting is real is a major first step in fighting it and not getting to September wondering what happened to your writing and all the great goals you had at the start of the year.

I’m starting a new personal challenge on May 1 so actually put ahead of this for once. Ive been writing in dribs and drabs the past three years, so kickstarting myself with a daily minimum 1000 word challenge to help get back into a routine.
I actually prefer April and May for starting new things. Just seems to go with Spring, and I typically have more energy in the warmer months.

I used to love this period as you would offer the sale, but then I bought lifetime. Thanks for all those sales, Dean. It definitely helped me and I bet to others as well.
