With Dawn, the Sun Rises

Since both of my daughters are in school, I have a dedicated period of peace and quiet to concentrate on my writing. Lucky me! Not all work-at-home moms (Mompreneurs) have that luxury.

My morning starts out usually with my 8 year old daughter waking me up, sometimes frantically, other times by crawling in bed with me for snuggles and kisses. My 16 year old is generally in the shower by then. She can take hours to get ready… it’s tough being so cool! LOL.

After I walk my little one to the bus stop, I make myself a cup of tea and ponder my day. I sit down at my desk and look through my emails rather leisurely. The news is usually on in the background. It always makes me grateful at that time of day because I’m not having to rush out the door and commute to work or worry too much about the weather. I sip my tea and look for emails from clients. Of course, there’s always those times when an urgent request comes in from one them that says something like, “Help! I needed an article yesterday and I forgot to tell you! How soon can you fit it in?” So much for the peace!

I get started right away. First, I do a little research and give creativity time to take over my brain… and my work day begins.
