Keep on with the grind. It'll work out.<br /><br />GEW: I know. Two major writing projects going at the same time sounds... pretty tough, really. And you do have to segment and protect your time. Watching show with the Hubs is very important!loveskidlithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10183156176146627991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187502470885037051.post-17491569059168868312010-11-27T08:38:52.491-08:002010-11-27T08:38:52.491-08:00As I started reading your post, I was thinking, &q...As I started reading your post, I was thinking, "I have to ask her when she makes time to write." And then, of course, you addressed it. I have the same problem with the dissertation (as you know), and it's even worse when I think about fiction projects (which I would love to work on). It's made worse by the fact that if I don't have to grade and prep in the evenings, I just want to watch a show with the Hubs. Not conducive to writing, no Siree. <br /><br />I'd love to hear more about your trip to London, unless it's all on the down low.

I tend to take deep dives rather than hanging out in the wading pool. So when I write -- almost always late into the night once the kids are asleep -- I do it for something like 67 days in a row and write a 500-page monstrosity. Revisions for my novel have been ongoing since then. I just finished my fourth global revision, but I nitpick whenever I feel like it. It's really difficult to do my day job (well, I teach at night, too) when all I want to do is write. This is why I need to make it onto the bestseller list, so I don't have to divide my attention so much. Now, if only I could get an agent to accept this lovely book of mine. (The fourth revision just convinced me that it really is freaking good. I just need someone to give me a chance!!)Fie upon this quiet life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12047096700049201873noreply@blogger.com
