How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Honestly, it would depend on what things are interfering. When it came to things like my kids, their needs always took precedence over myself. My partner’s goals have always been much more defined than mine, so if he has a chance to move forward than mine I would let him take precedence over me. Currently, it is my turn and I am trying to do the things I have always wanted to do.

Right now, there is nothing interfering with my goals besides myself. I have been making a lot of progress and my first fiction should be published next month, so that is exciting. I am sticking to a schedule and it is slowly coming together. The biggest problem is whether I can find inspiration to work on the sequel. Unfortunately, you cannot really force it, so I write other things instead.
