The Life of a Wannabe Published Writer

Haven't blogged in a while.  Two months to be exact.  Time at the holidays always gets away from me.  This includes my writing time.  I'm having a hard time finishing anything lately.  I have some decent ideas going.  A handful of manuscripts at the 50,000 word mark.  I just need to focus on one and finish.  Focus.  Not as easy as it should be.

Life is busy these days, not just with the holidays stuff either.  We have basketball and indoor soccer tournaments this weekend.  Two active kids with their own busy lives.  I long for a day when I can find a good writing routine, free of noise, Disney channel, ESPN and distractions in general.  Yet, I fear that means I long for the day when my kids are grown.  I wouldn't wish this time with them away for nothing.  So, maybe that means I won't get published until I'm 50 or 60.  Oh well.  It'll happen if and when it's meant to happen.

I want to wish you all Happy Holidays.  Keep writing when you can and I will too.
