Life Interruption 2

How do accomplished authors find the balance between family and writing? I can't seem to find the path. I did finish a chapter today, but I only have about three more to finish the ms. After I completed the chapter, other stuff got in the way and I'm having a hard time getting back to the story line. It's as if I'm experiencing a block. More of a physical block than a mental block, though.

Tomorrow is a new day. My goal for the day is to write at least ten pages of my ms before I have to leave for work. Working two hours during the middle of the day can sometimes be a hassle when you have other things you want to do. You get into the groove and then have to up and leave. When you get back, it's hard to get back that drive to write. Other things-drama, family meals have a tendency to block my way back to my computer.

For tonight and tomorrow, my computer will be set up on the kitchen table. (We're not using it except for storage of food from the farmer's market - hubby tends to buy bulk :o) Then it's time to pack up the computer for a trip to Harrisburg for a weekend conference (non-writer). I do plan to find some time to write more of my ms, though.

I'm beginning to find the advantage to blogging. It's good to get my thoughts out and down where they're in my face to keep me on track. Is this what blogging does for you?
