Maybe you’ve attended conferences, read books, listened to the best and you’ve got an organized system to manage your time. Perhaps time management is still an issue for you. Regardless, there are times when life happens and there’s no “thyme” to write.
Thyme for Writers
The idea for Thyme for Writers happened a year ago. I wanted a place where writers and book lovers could go for a bit of inspiration, direction, encouragement, fun, and excitement, but I didn’t have a name for it. I brought my idea to my incredible writers group, and within minutes, Candee Fick came up with the name, Thyme for Writers, tying into my theme, adding spice to your life.

As a techno-idiot, the idea of me ever being able to manage and create a website was a pipe dream … until Candee. She is an incredible resource, writer, and friend. If you’re at that place where you need either writing, computer, or web help, check out her invaluable resource, The Author Toolbox. I have steadily improved and decreased the time I spend uploading and formatting all my posts, whether written by me or my amazing guests, but it still takes time.

Kathryn Ross has added invaluable insight to writers by tying in the benefits of certain spices and oils to a writer’s life and the writing process. She is a monthly guest on Thyme for Writers with her series, The Write Spice. Kathryn is a new grandma, and for the month of May, she has no “thyme” to write. Congratulations Miss Kathy! We’ll miss you this month, but catch up with you next!
Thyme for Writers has grown with a readership I never could have imagined and I am looking forward to its continued growth! With the exception of last Thursday, I have posted every Thursday since its start August 31, 2017. Since I don’t want to disappoint my readers, I wanted to give you a heads up that I may only have 2 posts for the month of May. Alas, I have 3 graduations:
- My daughter is graduating medical school and will start her residency in neurosurgery;
- My son is graduating graduate school in radiation physics; and
- My son’s very special significant other is graduating with a bachelor’s in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences.
Yes, I’m a very proud Mama, and for the month of May, chances are … I’ll have less “thyme” to write. Since time management is critical in every aspect of life, especially for writers, there will be future posts on the topic. Stay tuned… .
