Keeping to the Task--Writing

Lately on some of the e-mail lists I'm on, people have been discussing writer's block. That's something I don't have a problem with. What I do have a problem with is keeping to the task of writing.

It's certainly not because I'm blocked. I'm nearing the end of a new Rocky Bluff P.D. book--as yet unnamed--and I really want to get with it and finish.

However, life keeps interfering. I have things I have to get done. I don't think I need to name them here because they are the same things everyone has to do to get along in their daily lives.

On top of that, I have a hubby who likes to do something interesting at least once a week which means heading to town, maybe shopping, eating out somewhere and going to a movie. (And I like that too--sort of like our dating time and even though we've been married for a million years, we like being together.)

Because I have a new book almost here--I'm tracking it and it's moving slowly across the country in a big UPS truck--I need to be arranging some in-person promotion events.

So the notes for the book sit beside my computer waiting for me to get back to my writing.

A full life can make it difficult to execute the task of writing, but a less-than-full-life can hurt the quality and character of your writing.

I think you're better off with the struggle. :)
I can certainly relate to not finding time to write, especially when you have a special date!!!

if you find a way to balance it all, let us know! I never seem to have enough time for writing OR extracurricular fun!
