Just thank you for this beautiful comment. <br />I definitely need more zen in my life and I am determined not to regret any time I waste worrying and being too busy to be there for my kids. They truly are my life. Writing, with all its joys and excitement, is a distant second to my family. <br />And I'm oh so grateful for your advice.<br />*HUGS*Angela Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08405824955821316661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283354062146755430.post-61667585550667568392012-05-11T09:21:45.478-07:002012-05-11T09:21:45.478-07:00Thank you so much!

I did basically write a whole novel while the kids were on summer break, but I get this impression they want me to entertain them more this summer. ;)<br /><br />I wrote a schedule out for myself a few months ago, but that got blow to bits when everything went haywire. I need to sit down and make a plan. I know it will help me feel more in control and less insane.Angela Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08405824955821316661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283354062146755430.post-41548343156754710382012-05-11T09:19:29.758-07:002012-05-11T09:19:29.758-07:00I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only perso...I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only person, when faced with a million different projects, who feels unable to move. I do believe the key is to make sure you are having fun! And it's always nice to be reminded to stop stressing and just have fun. <br /><br />THANK YOU!! *hugs*Angela Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08405824955821316661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283354062146755430.post-11236225810391918622012-05-10T13:32:25.047-07:002012-05-10T13:32:25.047-07:00Ang, loved this post.

I'm old enough to be your mother and I've chased my tail trying too. Can't be done. I wish someone had told me that years ago before my battery ran this low. But you can slow down do what you can, when you can and enjoy the things you do. As you grow older the years will pass faster and you will wish you had enjoyed the time more not tried to cram more tasks into the time. That's my zen for the day. Write a story for your kids, dance with your loved one and laugh a lot. Oh and thanks so much for stopping by my blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593523034769971203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283354062146755430.post-72090775794501449652012-05-09T18:30:48.048-07:002012-05-09T18:30:48.048-07:00Wow Ang, You are in the same place I am.

I get lost in projects I'd like to do and have to put them on the calendar in date order. That seems to help. But I have kids also and their time demands are very fluid. Just remember you're doing great and there are folks here to cheer you on when you worry you're putting out crap. I dont see any crap. You're wonderful.

Hang in there and don't be so hard on yourself. Have some fun and do what feels right for that moment!Angie Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427286424394081888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283354062146755430.post-72045109130451262192012-05-09T13:57:59.169-07:002012-05-09T13:57:59.169-07:00You are awesome.

Thank you so much for commenting and your advice!<br /><br />p.s. you are right about the kids thing. I've got four ages 12-4. If there is one thing I've learned over time, it's that writing is always there for me, but my time with my kids, well that's limited.Angela Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08405824955821316661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283354062146755430.post-14944842006609004052012-05-09T13:54:34.294-07:002012-05-09T13:54:34.294-07:00The squirmy wormies are the worst!

Calm down, take a breath and remember, if you have young children, you have a whole lifetime ahead of you to write. Choose at random 3 projects that you want done in xx amount of time. The ones you pick at random will be the ones your brain secretly wants to do most.<br />Good luck, except you don't need it because you are already awesome :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283354062146755430.post-32715607059281137772012-05-09T11:11:30.995-07:002012-05-09T11:11:30.995-07:00I feel like that a lot, even though I haven't ...I feel like that a lot, even though I haven't been through what you just have...I certainly understand that squirmy wormy feeling! Good luck choosing, I'm brilliant at procrastination, so must get back to my own craziness...and decide what I'm going to do too! <br />Take it slowly, do something small and build up to something big!Lisa Shambrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767127776898278402noreply@blogger.com
