They grow up so fast. Squeeze in writing time when you can. Before you know it they will be off in college and you'll have lots of writing time.Sharon K.

We were planning to remodel, it's what we do, but we literally stripped everything up to the rafters and down to the slab. So yeah, I haven't really done much writing in the last month (also, publisher hit me with a deadline during this madness, and I'm still not sure how I met it: I suspect I sold my soul somewhere--I signed enough documents!)<br /><br />As for wanting to get more done for your writing. If you can, fall back to pen and paper, carry around a notebook to all of these practices and rehersals. If you're not the one leading them, you can sneak in some bits and pieces. maybe character sketches, or short stories out of the same world, that sort of thing. <br /><br />The other thing, is that you can accept that life is crazy and you sometimes have to let the writing sit. It's not the end, but moving into the new house is definitely a priority.

Sometimes life does just...That's a great quote! Sometimes life does just take over - I constantly feel like I have no time to complete everything in. But I think it's important to recognise that sometimes it's just not possible to do everything - that way, we won't stress if we don't get to write for a while :). As for writing tips - every once in a while I simply have to force myself NOT to turn the TV on when I get back from work, plug in my headphones and get cracking, before I can freak myself out/talk myself out of it! (I should really be following my advice right now - whoops)Rachel Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848131947437970731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878172058685455293.post-48749243833056893162015-07-01T08:50:34.233-07:002015-07-01T08:50:34.233-07:00I have the same struggle.
