Here's a little insight to me: I have a family of six, my hubs started his own business in September last year, (which I'm now doing books for), I home school all of my children, and we moved to a new house in November.
Through it all I've continued to, (slowly) plug away at writing.
Most recently, I've had a huge research breakthrough which resulted in a rapidly expanding storyboard (Yay). A wonderful friend has offered me the use of her gigantic whiteboard and I'm itching to pick it up and make use of it!
Since the last post, I've had months where I haven't touched the project, (stressed out that I'm not touching it) then some months where I work consistently on it...always with the intention of making even more time for it. I think, when it actually gets to a point where I can be proud of what I've accomplished so far, instead of cringing when I read it back, then I will be able to justify setting aside more and more time to write;)
On the bright side, it continues to get better and better every time I rewrite the first few chapters! So, wooohooo! for improvement, new ideas, and growing confidence.
