It’s go-time!

Welcome to today’s update from the coffee shop.

I got here later than I wanted. My schedule tends to revolve around my husband’s, and when he doesn’t start work until 11:30, it throws my whole routine out of whack. To make things even stranger, we’ve got to get our son to the middle school by 5 for his helmet fitting for football.

Meanwhile, the countdown is on: 34 days left until this book needs to be finished and in the hands of beta readers. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. But honestly, the nerves have only fueled my tenacity to push forward and get it done. If that means sacrificing sleep tonight to juggle writing, DoorDashing, and football? Then that’s exactly what I’ll do.

So what’s the plan today?

✍️ Write as long as I can here at Pups and Cups (🐶 + ☕️) before heading out to DoorDash.

🚗 Dash for about an hour before picking up my son and husband for the parent meeting and helmet fitting.

🏈 Try not to cry during this huge milestone in my son’s life. (One day, I’ll share the full story of why 7th grade football means so much to us.)

✍️ Then it’s back to writing. And more writing. And more writing.

As for sleep…don’t ask. I’ll find time eventually. For now, it’s go time.
