#SoCS – Yes

23 Comments

Why do so many of us find it hard to say no? Saying yes seems to be what overextends me. Sure, I can do that. Let me help you. Gah! I never get my own stuff done.

And I have stuff. I have loads of stuff. Tons of it. And all of it needs to be done. I am getting little bits of stuff done here and there. I managed to get some rewriting done on the beginning of my upcoming book. Looks now like it’ll be published in June. I’ll try for the 27th – one year from the date the last one came out. So much for six months between releases.

Hey, a heads-up. I have a book blog tour for The Magician’s Curse running for ten days starting April 30th, so you’ll probably be sick of hearing about it by the 9th of May. But I do plan to put it on sale, so there’s that.

OH, one thing I did manage to get done was I phoned the company who manufactured my smoke alarms. They’re going to replace them for free. Now I just have to not start a fire in my house between now and the time they show up in the mail. I can do that, right? I can say no to fire.

Well, it’s officially Sunday here now, so I suppose I should stop writing my Stream of Consciousness Saturday post. If you’d like to join in (late, like me) or just read all the other entries, click the following link: https://lindaghill.com/2018/04/27/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-april-28-18/ It’s fun!

    Yep saying no can be quite difficult but I’m finding it easier as I get older. Good luck with the book publishing.

    I often shock my fellow Midwesterners by my ability to say no. It’s unnatural.

    Good luck on the book. BTW who made the six-month rule? Sounds like a way to drive oneself crazy.

    Saying no is hard for me, too. It gets easier once a couple people say it to you, but I don’t wish that on you.

    Good job getting the smoke detectors replaced – try not to keep the home fires burning until they arrive. No to pizza after midnight.

      For me it’s harder when others say no to me to do it to someone else. It’s my way (though usually ineffective) of trying to lead by example. 😛
      And yeah, no pizza after midnight. And no getting my son wet, either. Haha. (Does anyone remember Gremlins anymore?)
