I've been working from home since December and money is a bit on the tight side. (Okay, a LOT.) <br /><br />It took me a bit to get into a routine, but it's working well for me now. It's so easy to add too many "little things" to your schedule. Consider each carefully!<br /><br />And blessings.Valerie Comerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674882711125123089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-70939079645727522032013-06-25T05:47:25.034-07:002013-06-25T05:47:25.034-07:00Blessings on your new "employment" for y...Blessings on your new "employment" for you are NOT without a job. And God, while a gentle taskmaster, should never take a back seat to anyone. As Mary said, you have to treat this just like a job and not allow intrusions on your work day. Just remember "no" is not a bad word.Judith Roblhttp://www.judithrobl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-91103911744930301852013-06-25T02:58:24.235-07:002013-06-25T02:58:24.235-07:00I am excited for you, Kara. with such clear direct...I am excited for you, Kara. with such clear direction from the Lord He must have something special for you - and it seems to be your writing.<br />A word of warning: I urge you to look on your writing as your "job". When I stopped nursing and wrote full time (as much as I could then!) folk at church said things like "Now you're not working anymore, Mary, could you now do..."<br />I had to learn to say things like, "Sorry, I still do have a job. It is writing, even if I am doing it at home and not nursing at the hospital." Friends also thought I could now drop everything for a social activity. Do guard your writing time. It does take more discipline to work at your job at home too I think!

As one who's been there, I can tell you there are just as many distractions on the home front as in the office, so put up a "do not disturb" sign to protect your writing time.
