So you'll have to plan it for some other time.

But writing the book, fulfilling the dream, isn't going the last mile. At some point, I have to let go. Let others see the work. I'm terrible about this and need to get past it.

Then I either can't write or I'm just lazy. I'm sorta in between right now. I'm plotting but not writing. And I'm tending to a hubby who had an outpatient test this morning.
