At least you're thinking at some point you'll be writing. Some people just lay on the couch....I can't settle for that. Too --- well, without hope, I guess, instead of hopeless. Not quite the same.<BR/><BR/>Mary Beth, you know, I was taking vitamins last year. I forgot about that. I will have to go get some this weekend!<BR/><BR/>Kelly, I have days like that....few and far between lately, though.<BR/><BR/>Trish, <BR/><BR/>2000 words a day, J?

But I also have my other jobs (substitute teaching and office bookkeeping), plus my home, my family, and my spirituality. All of them need the time and attention they deserve, too. Being balanced is my goal...and I do my best to get there. I will admit now that my latest contracted novel is finished, I'm looking forward to NOT having a deadline over my head for a while. I can work on Damien at my own pace. I'll like that.<BR/><BR/>JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-1156428892327334082006-08-24T09:14:00.000-05:002006-08-24T09:14:00.000-05:00YouTube is addictive.

It takes the threat of not being able to pay the mortgage and living in a cardboard box to get me to stop writing and go to the day job each morning. I wish I had more time to give to it.

If I'm really dragging I take extra B-12 and B-6, too.<BR/>You're an amazing writer!<BR/>GA's back on TV tonight. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-1156393163711491392006-08-23T23:19:00.000-05:002006-08-23T23:19:00.000-05:00Oh, I know how you feel.

Think there's only an hour or two a day I can write, and sometimes, if I'm lucky, I'll work a couple of hours a day.. but most of the time, between children, blogging, and work, I rarely have time until my family's asleep, then i'm usually too tired to do too much anyway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274178330113713370noreply@blogger.com
