The
first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group
day. Members post about their doubts and
fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to
others who are struggling.
Since I wrote on a different topic last month, I'm going to post on September's question: How do you find the time to write in your busy day?
The answer for me is really quite simple. I have no life.
Actually, that's an exaggeration, it should be I had no life. Grin. Since I've retired though, time to write isn't such an issue.
After the kids had left the nest, and before I'd retired, I went to work, came home and wrote. On weekends, I got up and spent most of the day and evening writing, and hoped for the sake of the house, no one dropped by unannounced:)
I can remember writing in the parenting days. Like most working moms, I wrote at every opportunity--when I wasn't working, there weren't student activities and or family outings. I wrote on my lunch hour, waiting in the car for a child, waiting at the doctor's office, etc.
Being a working-parent-writer is not for wimps. So to the parents who work and write full time kudos. My hat is off to you.

Legend
has it that…..
Amber contained the soul of tigers.
Bloodstones were oracles and gave off
sounds of guidance.
Carnelian was used to guard the dead on
their journey to their next life.
Cat’s-eye made the wearer invisible.
Making chalices from chalcedony prevented
poisoning.
Chiastolite warded off the Evil Eye.
Diamonds sprang from thunderbolts.
Diamonds fell from the sky after a fight
between dragons.
