I get a daily fix of writing at my work, yet I have to come home and write in as many pockets of time I can steal around raising my children and pretending to clean my house (I really use that time to work out plot issues- but that's our secret.) Why torture ourselves like this? <br />Because we are writers. Anyone else would have quite by now, so that puts you ahead of the game. Congrats on the babe too, I had to take time off from writing. Years off. I couldn't balance babies, work, life, and writing. Something had to give. But I'm back, and my kids help me, because the rule is, if I write you play, if I clean the house, so do you! We do a lot of playing around my house.Tanya Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293977395016853814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34407485.post-69247145750251850002010-12-15T11:50:12.726-05:002010-12-15T11:50:12.726-05:00Thanks, Regina--I was feeling overwhelmed.

But writing is great me-time, and I do love it. <br />And I love my family, and if it can grow with another child, that would be fabulous!<br />So, we'll see what 2011 holds!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411579382459528424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34407485.post-78334984021246624992010-11-22T10:21:38.455-05:002010-11-22T10:21:38.455-05:00Wow honey you seem a little stressed.

I have to scrounge for time to write, but love the time I get to spend with them.<br /><br />Mine are growing up though. 17, 15, 15, 13, and almost 7. The two 15 year olds have driving permits and keep my pretty busy with sports too.<br /><br />I find time for writing because that is me time and I always can use time for ME!! lol Best wishes on what you decide.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493618594406138554noreply@blogger.com
