I always want to be consistent, but then other things come up...work projects, kid's school projects, family problems, etc. <br />Just hang in there and don't be too hard on yourself. For a while there, I always just made it a goal to have a little something written by each writer's group so that I had something to review. <br />Good luck! I actually came to Shopko on your first day of work to say "HI" and wish you encouragement, but I think I was too early for your shift. Let me know, and I'll stop by at your check stand. :-)Write Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688559534731990798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341830238677312302.post-19265144986312015322010-11-23T08:18:13.108-08:002010-11-23T08:18:13.108-08:00Reana,

I was seriously just in survival mode. I agree with Jen. If you write just a little bit (even once a week) it will keep your awesome skills alive. Have you thought of changing your writing focus during this super busy time to a short story? It might feel less heavy, and people do buy short stories. There's a pretty decent market for them in magazines. Overall, be very patient with yourself. I know how important that it from personal experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573354179519141077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341830238677312302.post-62513050430555098832010-11-21T21:15:21.563-08:002010-11-21T21:15:21.563-08:00Sorry, Reana. I'm fresh out of spells. But if ...Sorry, Reana. I'm fresh out of spells. But if you find any good ones let me know.<br /><br />Finding time to write can be really tricky. I know with my little ones nights and nap time are the best for me. My schedule changes every day so I usually wake up in the morning and say, "Today I'm going to write while Libby's in preschool and Boston's on a nap." And when unexpected things arise then I push it to the evening after my kids are in bed. The point is, I try to write a little bit every day. Even if I only get a paragraph in, it keeps me focused and thinking about my book.<br /><br />In summary, consistency and habit are my two best writing buddies. After my Cubies of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
