Thanks Suzanne..the permission to 'write crap' is exactly what I need. I find myself paralyzed by the thought of writing something that is worthless, hence I write nothing at all a good lot of the time. I'm still getting a hang of…
What a great lot of advice Bieke...I love the idea of leaving the housework until everyone is home to 'watch' me toil. I guess everything about being a woman is about balance. Thank goodness we seem to excell at multitasking.
Good luck…
Jackie,
I haven't read through all the replies, but my advice is to treat your writing time as a job. Wake up every morning and get ready as if you were working out of the house, after the children are off to school, sit down at your desk. Give…
Bieke,

me too! Do you ever find some of these snippets and wonder "what the heck?" Sometimes I wonder if I actually wrote it! I really need to get more organized.
phew, I thought maybe I was the most disorganized writer ever. I have notebooks everywhere you can imagine. In my car, in the kitchen, the laundry room, my gym bag, my purse..well, you get the picture.
Thanks for your great tip about writing down…
Brilliant! With four kids and three dogs (one of whom is a new puppy) the only "quiet" time I seem to have is in the bathroom...I never thought to write in there! Might have to give it a try ;-)
sounds like you have it all figured out Rebecca! I haven't even gotten brave enough to risk the rejection letters so you're way ahead of me. This place is so great...I think I may be ready to take that final leap.
Cheers
Jackie
thanks Rebecca. This place is so great for that encouragement that we all need from time to time. I totally agree...if mama is happy...the whole family is happy ;-)
