My family is my priority, but I need time to read and write if I want them to have a happy mother :-) <br /><br />I don't watch TV and I hardly ever go out (but that's because of the baby more than the writing). My problem isn't finding time to write, but to edit and polish something. You know what I'm talking about (hello google docs on which I haven't shared anything for a long time!).Yamilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769312615756253197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225588878619457421.post-36551587212742227052012-09-20T11:16:16.927-06:002012-09-20T11:16:16.927-06:00Also, I just read your "Me in real life"...Also, I just read your "Me in real life" info and I learned a lot of new stuff about you! Sounds like you were nearly in a situation that they could have based "Taken" on. And how did I not know about the snake tooth thing?

I often get asked how I find time to read and it's hard to respond politely. The obvious reason is that I love it, so it's the first thing I pick to do if I have my choice of activities. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but it's what I do. Cleaning/cooking/exercising etc. often go by the wayside because I choose to read. Really anyone who has seen my house knows how I find time to read. I love the part where you said what they really mean is that it isn't a priority, so they gave it up for something else. I try really hard not to ask people how they find time to do stuff. If I think about it I can figure out that they probably lay around a lot less than I do! <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the tips on fitting everything in. It really is a struggle to get all the essential stuff in along with the fun stuff.

I like to make a short list when I've got lots to do. <br /><br />I prioritize my writing time, just like fitness, another thing that requires a commitment.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />D.G.

You always have to keep that perspective to keep the joy in your hobbies, even if you're doing it for money.Brooke @ Silver Lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122246696900173040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225588878619457421.post-79483037221933622692012-09-17T13:30:33.769-06:002012-09-17T13:30:33.769-06:00i just wrote up a post on this very thing, but it&...i just wrote up a post on this very thing, but it's saved in draft mode. I agree with all you've said. We all spend our time differently, it just depends on where your priorities lie. prerna picketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207620652405474672noreply@blogger.com
