• Simplicity Meets Overthinking

    simplicityI have been told frequently that I overthink everything. Keeping things simple is a real stretch for me. When I see a piece of writing with simple bullet points, I want to write it that way. I often end up with paragraphs instead. I always think I need to say more. I have heard the “less is more” quote, and I understand it. Then I tend to clutter it up. My editing style has trouble leaving anything out.

  • My Wandering Mind

    I have this habit of not focusing.  This results in not listening or reading instructions and I would like to correct this habit. 

    Have you ever tried to sew an evening dress or skirt without reading the directions?  Well, I have done this and I must say it does work out, but not without a few problems that could have been eliminated had I read the instructions.
