Gotta
have a map to follow
All
the time.
Maybe
I’ve got to research a topic, write a post, edit a story, read a book
Every
day I set goals I have the power to achieve. No one can take that from me.
Perhaps
the query won’t get a request, but I send it.
Like
the backpacker hiking a hundred miles, one step at a time.
All
of my work to submit and write and research and read and
Network
will be filled with highs and lows, but it’s MY journey.
Kim at the start of last week's 100-mile backpacking trip along the Ohio & Erie Canal. |
You go, girl.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, Kim. So true. And the way you did it is very creative.
ReplyDeleteI live by the canal, it's one of my favorite places to go for walks- how did you like it?

It kicked my ass on some days. I haven't pushed my body like that for a long time--(20 miles a day.) It was that 20-pound pack that did it, and relatively speaking, that's not a heavy pack. But as much as I babied my feet, they blistered. Most days I went to bed wondering if I'd be able to continue in the morning, but the restorative powers of a good night's sleep are amazing. And the beauty of the trail, and the solitude, and time to think and talk to my husband, and the anticipation of checking into our new B&B each night, were priceless.
DeleteCool post!
ReplyDeleteHi, Kim :)
Nice little post, it packed a punch with simple reminders. Curious as to how the 100mi. trip went..or is?
ReplyDeletethe destination is the goal, the journey is the fun :D
ReplyDeleteSuccinct and great stuff. I think I'll copy & paste and give to my writers. Good game plan. Appreciate it!

Waiter, drink please!
Good to have a game plan. Your trip sounds amazing. Did it make you crave to rewrite?
ReplyDeleteYou know what? It really did. Now to finish up all of the other pressing matters that are weighing on me this week and get back to it!
DeleteCute! I agree, having a plan is always best, even at the grocery store. The times I don't, I'm wandering aisles and forgetting stuff. Such as with groceries as in life... :)
