I think it's virtually a given of being a writing mom.

I had no desire to ditch my kids, but I still craved that time.

I think this can be a good approach in small doses, but it's not recommended for long-term use. :-)Anna Staniszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316883819771607655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181890300160874059.post-48787475300189313282014-07-17T12:06:49.516-07:002014-07-17T12:06:49.516-07:00Earlier this summer, I had a week where both my ki...Earlier this summer, I had a week where both my kids were gone at camp where I got to write for most of the day. Since usually I'm squeezing in words when I can (and 500 is a good day), this felt like such a treat. But by the second day or so, I was tired of writing, writing, writing, writing. I think balance is the key--besides, what would you have to write about if you didn't go out in the world in your cute shoes?Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139361928785566916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181890300160874059.post-69008904494541843632014-07-17T09:46:15.067-07:002014-07-17T09:46:15.067-07:00Randi, Did you say word count?!?

And the ironic (or in the alternative, pathetic) thing is that I end up having to hack thousands and thousands of words off my novels to get to a solid final draft.

There is always the chance that by interspersing really bad advice with something slightly more useful, I could create chaos.
