I'm glad you found a way to make it work.

And the temptation to waste time on social media- instead of wrestle through an issue to write it, or (heaven forbid) to EDIT something- this is something I constantly need to watch!<br /><br />I have carved out afternoons. (Naptime) and I try very hard to make at least 1 hour of that time be actual WRITING. <br />Great post!Emily Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014196267197823268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314337119339520012.post-35743490502290727672012-08-07T15:17:33.913-04:002012-08-07T15:17:33.913-04:00I have three writing days a week and plan my writi...I have three writing days a week and plan my writing--professional and my own--around those days. When my children were home it was harder because besides being a momma, I also was a pastor's wife. I would get up at 4 each morning and write until 7 when I needed to get my daughter up for school. It does take discipline, but it worked.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577919062812348914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314337119339520012.post-71318222714530011242012-08-03T19:18:09.212-04:002012-08-03T19:18:09.212-04:00Hi Glenda, I'm glad you found the post helpful...Hi Glenda, I'm glad you found the post helpful.
