Gotta Write

My workload is pretty stinking daunting right now, and while I’m blessed to have the work I have there are times when I kind of wish I could have a dry spell so I could spend my days working on my novel.

Allow me to clarify something.  I love writing.  I adore my jobs.  I’m really very lucky to do this for a living.  Editors, don’t listen to my ramblings.  Please keep sending work my way. 

At any rate, sometimes I do wonder how much more I could get done with my book if I didn’t have all this other writing to do.  Maybe I really wouldn’t do so much more because I would inevitably fill my days with other stuff.  After all, people can’t write all day long, can they?

In a couple of years my kids will start school and I will have my days open to do my paid writing while also enjoying extra time to work on my fiction projects.  I wonder if the quiet house will bring me more inspiration, or if I’m kidding myself to think that I’ll be able to get a ton more done.

Until then I’ll keep plugging away, grateful that I have so much work to do yet slightly forlorn that I don’t have more time to spend on my book.  Someday I hope to make fiction writing the job that brings in the cash.
