Sorry Larkers...

I didn't get around to posting last Monday. Didn't even realize I missed it until the end of the week. Just too much going on at work and home. I'm trying to find balance. And every time I think I should put myself on some kind of plan it works for a short time and then I fall right back into the old ways.

Someone was asking me the other day about my writing and when I had time to do it. The trouble is I don't make time. I'm so busy promoting all over the Internet that by the time I've hit all the networking sites, yahoo groups, blogs facebook and myspace sites to keep visible it's time to go to bed.

Last weekend I was determined to get some writing done and I accomplished what I set out to do. I finished adding content to a pre-released book in the hopes of it going to print with a new publisher. I should hear back from her in a couple weeks. I also did some work on a new project and I started a short romance. I was only able to get all this done by taking a three-day weekend.

This past weekend I spent a day with my girls. I won't give up the chance to spend time with them to write. So that left me with Saturday. I sat all day on the computer making the rounds and I did get a couple paragraphs done. But it wasn't enough. I don't know how anyone who has a career, young children at home, finds the time it takes to be a successful writer and I take my hat off to them.

It's a good thing writing is just a hobby for me:)




Hey, for us cat lovers. Can you relate to this picture?

Great blog. As a writer we are always juggling. You accomplish a lot in the bits of time you have.

Oh yes I can relate to the cats on the bed! Can understand your predicament too, but we all get there in the end, don't we?
