A pretty forest picture: a little something for those of you who don’t really want to read about my thirteen minutes a day.

In the first seven days of the “2013 – Thirteen Minutes a Day” challenge, I have:

• Drafted a two-page synopsis for “You, Jane,” the second novel I wrote, so I can prepare a package for submitting to agents and publishers;
• Started editing “The Law of Immediate Forgiveness” so I can have it ready to ‘shop’ at the upcoming summer writing conferences; and
• Realized that thirteen minutes almost always winds up being twenty, or thirty, or even an hour’s worth of good work, once I sit myself down to do it.

Thirteen minutes a day spent on something very important to you – it adds up.
