Sometimes that can be the best thing for my writing... but I have to make sure not to get TOO relaxed. I think one of the reasons I have to make a schedule for myself is because I'm secretly lazy, haha.Becky Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891727235981320025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291354210441448985.post-61410529219773956262011-09-26T07:39:38.257-07:002011-09-26T07:39:38.257-07:00It is sooo hard to get everything in. I think the ...It is sooo hard to get everything in. I think the most important thing is to let yourself off the hook if you are too fried to write. But not so far off the hook that you don't get writing done! Sometimes I beat myself over the head that this whole process isn't moving faster. But then I have to stop, and think--this isn't worth it for me if it becomes a chore. I love to write. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that! <br /><br />I love your idea of picking 2 or 3 things. And then getting them done. What great advice. <br />:)Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291354210441448985.post-27011418396064945662011-09-23T12:46:06.926-07:002011-09-23T12:46:06.926-07:00Katrina, I am totally that person too!

You're so helpful to aspiring writers on top of everything else you have to do! <br /><br />And no worries. I love long comments! :DBecky Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891727235981320025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291354210441448985.post-51317539895165172002011-09-23T12:38:41.777-07:002011-09-23T12:38:41.777-07:00I'm that person up there you described who can...I'm that person up there you described who can't do everything, so decides not to do anything! LOL. Not usually, but when I get overwhelmed, that's what I do first. It's great that you have that experience as a scheduler to help you plan your life. Even before kids and family life, I felt super busy all the time. Life is just vibrant and full, and we wouldn't have it any other way, but yeah... stressful at times when we can't get "it all" done. <br /><br />Cynthia- you, me, same. Takes me way too long to do things, and I feel bad about it. But that's just life. See above. Gosh, this comment is long. Sorry, Becky!! Thanks for coming over to my blog today and making me feel special! :)Katrina L.

Or even just a couple more hours in the day!<br /><br />Cynthia: Well, this certainly isn't the way it works for EVERYONE - and like I said, I have so much respect for people who can balance a family with writing. :) But it helps me keep everything straight right now, which is what I need more than anything else!<br /><br />(Deleted and reposted for typos.

I write when I can and try not to stess that it is taking me far to long to finish. Remember it's the jouney- not the finish line. :-)Cynthia DiFilippo Elomaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07690665731154250664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291354210441448985.post-65161661442517603342011-09-23T07:38:35.816-07:002011-09-23T07:38:35.816-07:00Found you from Creepy QG's blog today.
