As for the rest, maybe it's worth asking yourself what is most important to you ... and then following through to the conclusions. If it's important to help your family then that is a decision that has consequences for writing. On the other hand, if writing is important then maybe family commitments could do with some boundaries. The only thing for certain is that you can't do <i>everything</i>.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-76304543072082412682018-06-29T23:53:54.441+02:002018-06-29T23:53:54.441+02:00Welcome to my world.

Life can make juggling all of its demands challenging to say the least. Do write on your own projects when you can. While they may not be the top priority, if they are a priority, then progress, even if slow progress, will be made.<br /><br />Me? Just finished a novella which is off to be edited, and started a new novel yesterday.Terry W.
