That was difficult, but a friend was in town to be with me for the week and I didn't want to put him aside to do the posts. <br /><br />I am sporadically working on my novel now, and also a short story. With the novel, I'm editing and I haven't been doing it every day as I wish I would. The short is getting worked on as ideas come. <br /><br />With my life in a huge flux right now, recently divorced and also recently finding new love, I find making time for my wip's a little difficult, but never far away. I think I'm almost back on track now.<br /><br />You're always posing very interesting questions.

Sorry you're struggling right now. It helps if I write first thing in the day, before the rest of life intrudes (altho that requires rising early, which is tough to do when you're stressed!) and it helps if I can write a little every day, so I can jump into my WIP when opportunity arises.<br /><br />And BTW, I just discovered White Collar and am REALLY enjoying it--watched the first three episodes this week. It felt positively decadent :)Cheryl Reifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717232463223093632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-43222344869200139132011-02-25T19:55:55.638-05:002011-02-25T19:55:55.638-05:00Yes, Natalie, we have a love affair with Leverage ...Yes, Natalie, we have a love affair with Leverage also.

My mother is going through the same thing with my grandmother. <br /><br />I took a week off of blogging after New Years, and it was nice to get things done. I've just recently cut down my blogging so I can get everything else done I need to- revising, playing with my daughter, work, cleaning. I feel out of the loop with blogging, but something has to be sacrificed.Abby Minardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963640263845561309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-49765488286897053142011-02-24T17:26:00.445-05:002011-02-24T17:26:00.445-05:00I'm a routine person, I admit.
