Deadlines and research plans

 


I like to keep busy but sometimes I think I overdo it. Maybe I have too many irons in the fire. The writerly part of my soul is busy this weekend learning more about the craft of writing at the Surrey International Writers Conference. But at the beginning of this week, a friend reminded me that she had asked me earlier about going back to Salt Lake City and the genealogist in me took over.

So that's just two things, right? Well maybe but research trips to the FamilySearch Library take more time planning for than the actual hours spent on the ground in the genealogist's mecca. And then there's writing. It's great to learn new stuff at the conference but then the best thing to do is to apply the most promising techniques before forgetting the reasons behind them.

In the meantime, I have some other deadlines to meet this coming week. I guess I better get writing but maybe I should plan which subjects to concentrate on first.
