Hi Gwen,

Are you doing the EzineArticles 100 Articles in 100 Days Challenge? I am doing that one as well as the blog challenge. I find it hard to re-purpose the blog posts. They have to be almost totally rewritten. I use a different voice and share more personal things here in the blog.

Hi Charlotte,

When you get the business stuff down to routines, you have more time and energy for creativity.

One of the hardest things for us creative types is to be business like. At least, it is so for me! I’ve really had to force myself to learn some rudimentary systems to keep things flowing. I resisted any kind of system for anything for so long–until I figured out that they actually enhance creativity instead of stifling it.

Hi Gwen,

With all that writing, it sounds as if you are building a good foundation for your business.

I also have several projects in the works at one time. I prefer to think of it as “diverse” rather than “scattered”. The challenge is good to make sure that our blogs get equal attention.

I will have some time management tips as well as some tools.

Good luck with the challenge and your other projects.

Hi Lynn,

Just stopping by to say good luck with the 30day challenge and I love your blog. I will be sure to keep following your advice. I’m trying to get in the habit (due to the challenge) of updating my blog daily – but also writing an article a day. And I am trying to get started on a screenplay – its SO much. Maybe I should just become a writer as a business LOL.

Thanks for the advice and I’ll come back to see what you have tomorrow

Gwen
