time is of the essence.

why haven't i blogged in forever? i am happy to say i have been so busy with my writing and projects that i haven't had any time. that in no way means i haven't missed my blog. i really love writing it. but i think this conundrum brings up something i am very passionate about. your time vs. what everyone thinks you should do with your time. 

have you ever experienced a friend or acquaintance or even a colleague that makes you feel badly for not answering some message or calling back immediately? for not abiding by their time line? have you ever been that person who makes the other feel that way? 

i would say i'm way harder on my family than friends, and so on and so forth--BUT in my older age (27), i am realizing that even that is probably, well, IS not what i should be doing. why do i all of a sudden bring this up? 

well, i have had an extremely taxing last couple weeks. more has been thrown my way than in a long time...and i used to be BUSY. this is a different kind of busy though. this is all in nashville busy. this is you better be good a managing your time busy. and luckily, i have always been pretty good at managing my time, but i do feel like i'm always too busy to do anything besides work 24/7.

i literally make myself go to sleep these days, arguing with myself that i'll be able to get up early and get more done if i sleep right then. (arguing with myself means that i always win...but to what end, i'm not sure:) ) 

i knew you of all people would understand. i knew i could take a break and tell you how i felt and not be flogged for missing out. and i knew you would know that i did miss this. i love pondering things and telling you how 

deadlines and ideas are coming along. 

this blog helps me get out of my head. so thank you, and i'll try my best to get back on track. not that i'm out of the woods. i still have 99 problems and book ain't one :) 

it's probably good that hova doesn't read this. for those of you that don't know who hova is, look up jay-z and his song "99 problems"... it will explain my "joke" 

have a wonderful week!
