Life is crazy. I should just deal, huh? Things are fixing to get very crazy for me though. I’m working on a book that needs to be by the end of the year. I have two books in edits. And I’ve just found a house that I really want to buy. Doesn’t seem like much does it? But if we buy this house, I have to sell mine and get a job. Get. A. Job. Oh my. But until that mythical day of in the future that my writing income matches a job income, I’ll just have to suck it up and do it.
All this change has me a little worried though. Right now I’m having a hard enough time juggling life, writing, working on the house (to get ready to sell), and looking for a job. What’s gonna happen when I actually throw a job in that mix? (The house stuff will just be transfered from one place to another.) So I’m wondering what our working-writer-readers have to say about this. How do juggle everything? Do you make up schedules or just wing it?

I have to keep myself on a scheduled so I have time to write. When I get home from work, which is usually about 4, I take care of all the household stuff, homework, cooking so that its done by at least 6-6:30 - then after that, I’m at the computer. Interruptions - baby needs to be changed, taking kids back and forth to activities, etc. But, I still try to get that time in.

When I was working, I wrote like mad on the weekends, and when ever I could sneak away after dinner. It’s been years since I worked in a job though.
