I played muck out the whole bleepin' house and just figured out about four days ago that my characters for the genre I write were the wrong age - by a lot. So I'm schooling and teaching and rewriting from scratch. <br /><br />Have a great school year!Tasha Seegmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11489911822054861132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-70165631208081404122014-08-18T13:01:43.422-06:002014-08-18T13:01:43.422-06:00Glad you've summered well :)

My summer was a time of transition as is my whole life right now. It's a hard time but I'll get to the other end of it.

I guess I didn't feel like I deserved one, since I quit the teaching gig and being a writer is now my full time job.<br /><br />Sadly, putting pressure on myself like that didn't help my creativity. It just caused numerous panic attacks.<br /><br />Only now, as summer is ending, am I coming to grips with not being a teacher, how I need "off time" as much as anyone with a 9-5 job, and compartmentalizing writing as my new job but not my entire life.Dianne K.

Publishing can drain you and steal away your time. I wanted to make my kids my priority this summer (but still make time for writing, which keeps me sane, and gear up for my upcoming release).Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.com
