Let's be honest.
House updates, no matter what type they are, can be a pain in the butt.
And that is if everything goes according to plan.
Last year we had a pretty decent-sized issue at our house causing major wall and floor damage. Long story short it sucked and took a while to get fixed. During the process we decided to update the flooring and have the stairs match, otherwise, it would look weird.
Well as you can imagine everything went amazing and now it looks great.
NOPE.
In fact, we've been living in a construction zone for months and my entire house looks like we just moved in with boxes and furniture everywhere.
Every room in the house has been taken over by the process at this point. Even my office.
This is where the weird writer side of me is coming out. I LOVE my office. It's my personal writing space that gives me a place to just focus on my current project and all the self-publishing business stuff.
Yet during this process, I've been forced to move from room to room and it actually helped. Now I love my main book series, the Heritage Saga, and working on book two, Heritage: Choice has been a huge priority for most of this year. Yet here we are away from the regular space and my inspiration has skyrocketed.
Now it did take some time to do so as the stress of the house and construction were little nuts at first, but the more I was able to work away from my office the more my mind seemed to embrace it.
I now have a few more projects in the works and I can't wait to share them with you. Hopefully soon.
So my takeaway is this. In the battle of House Construction VS Self Published Author, it's a win-win situation.
Life throws you the weirdest situations sometimes and just when you think you know what's going to happen, BAM plot twist.
I'm embracing the plot twist and making it work in my favor. You should too.
Always Keep Fighting.
You Are Enough.
