That's how I feel most days. Rushing here and there. Working at the day job. Working at the house. Making sure my kids have what they need. Having a relationship going on four years.
I'm...busy.
But isn't everyone anymore?
Seems like.
The only time I truly think about my writing and stories and ideas and whatnot is right before I go to sleep.
Not exactly a lullaby, you know?
But I guess it's not only then. Anytime I'm not occupied with life in general and can take a minute to let my mind wander...it does.
Back to the writing. To the stories. To the voices in my head.
But you know what really sucks?
I only let them put a foot in the door. There is only one time in my life I've let them bust the door wide open and accepted all of it on a day-to-day basis. And I wasn't working 40 hours a week then. I'd write 4000 words easily per day up to 7000 on my most prolific.
I immersed myself in them. And it was glorious.
Balance is not easy. And I'm not much of a balanced individual. (Hush, people)
I run till I fall. Balls to the wall. Throwing myself into whatever it is that I'm in.
I HAVE to make room for the stories. Because right now I feel lopsided and out-of-sorts.
Nothing more satisfactory to me than writing. Nothing feeds my soul like the words.
I need to get past the feeling that I'm being selfish with my time. How does one do that?
Definitively, one would guess.
And what do I want to work on?
Well, then.
First book in a five book series. And a few others in the series.
Erotic Paranormal.
Short romance.
Wish me luck.
