School’s out!
Summer’s here, and if you have young kids, you know what that means: kids in your hair.
All day long, and by evening, you’re sapped by family activities and running around. Running, running, running. They’re running you into an early grave… and you’re running on empty.
Where can you find time to write?
Some days (is this just me?), the thought of sitting down at the computer after a busy family-filled day is utterly, completely depressing. I know there are disciplined writers out there who put in their 1000 words a day come hell or high water. But I’ll admit it right now: I’m not always one of them.
Do you ever have a day when you feel like you’ve given them everything you’ve got?
I do. Sometimes, I’ve given my kids everything in me and there is nothing – well, almost nothing – left. But it’s that almost nothing that you have to take and squeeze out.
Those very last drops of inspiration are sometimes the very sweetest.
Giving more than 100%
Have you ever cut and squeezed a lemon?
It’s easy to see why so many authors fail: the market is flooded like no time before in history. What will keep you afloat above the deluge?
