I feel guilty working too much on my writing when my dh is working the early shift, as we have so little time together. He understood during the GH push, but I still took time out every afternoon and worked in the evenings instead.<BR/><BR/>The AlphaSmart is GREAT!!! I highly recommend it. I've had mine for four years and just LOVE it.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636189059910920978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-1134520574140975632005-12-13T17:36:00.000-07:002005-12-13T17:36:00.000-07:00I think the holidays are just impossible for writi...I think the holidays are just impossible for writing, in particular, because holidays are family-centered. You just can't sacrifice that. Don't sweat it--make up for it in January! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-1134512249886027602005-12-13T15:17:00.000-07:002005-12-13T15:17:00.000-07:00For me it is hard to write during the holidays. L...For me it is hard to write during the holidays. Last year I finished my time travel BEFORE the holidays hit. That way I could take off and enjoy the season. This year I was trying to wrap up my contemporary before the holidays hit and I failed. Yeah, I'm done now, but I felt so rushed. Next year there will be no writing, unless an agent or editor says so, during the holiday season. I'm just going to work, work, work until Thanksgiving, then take the time off until the new year.<BR/><BR/>When you're self employed, like a writer, you can take time off when you want and work like a fiend when need be.<BR/><BR/>Don't beat yourself up, Melissa. I too want to write, but finding the time is non-existant. The spin-off to my finished product is screaming at me to start, but I can't. I'd be doing myself a diservice if I did start it now.<BR/><BR/>Relax and enjoy the holidays. Oh, and buy that darn laptop! I'm like Rachel... mine is attached to my hip. Now if I could only figure out how to plug the energy source into my hip I'd be doing good. Those blasted laptop batteries don't last long!Dana Pollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712232388916152244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-1134499907164735162005-12-13T11:51:00.000-07:002005-12-13T11:51:00.000-07:00I can only speak for myself, but for me, the lapto...I can only speak for myself, but for me, the laptop was the answer to most of my problems. I do every last bit of my writing in my recliner, in the living room, with life going on around me. My kids sit on the floor and color, do homework, watch cartoons, etc...<BR/><BR/>I'm there to help and answer questions, or just to chat. But I'm also working.<BR/><BR/>The key is learning how to work with all the distractions. For me, editing is no problem while they're still awake. Then, I do actual composition after they go to bed.<BR/><BR/>And I don't get much sleep. For now, that's okay. I expect it to catch up with me eventually, but at the moment, I have from 8:30 to midnight every night to write. It's my schedule, and for the most part, it works. For me.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm jealous of your day job. I'd love for writing (of any kind) to pay my bills.<BR/><BR/>Rachel (I'm not on my computer right now.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
