I forgot how hectic working outside of the house is. I mean as a single parent, multitasking came easy. Book keeper, laundress, therapist, nurse, nurturer, housekeeper, conflict-solver, and so much more. But add on Being all of those, a fiance, outside of the house worker and an author and Whoooooo. I'm a friggin basket case!
I love the insanity, and thrive well in the Chaos. Even if I'm a tad bit late. I have an entire new list of characteristics to use with main ones for both heroes and heroines!
I have a new process.
At work I.....
Check and file email into folders.
I answer what I can and toss the rest.
I write for 45 mintues at lunch and email my editors with questions I have.
When I get home :P
I make dinner and spend time with the family and when their bed time hits, I gather what I want to write before bed or in the morning at work.
On the weekends. I have one day to just write and the other day for the kids and housecleaning!
The kids take turns making dinner so that I can have some extra time.
The best part is. More money means more vaction and author conventions!
How do you juggle it all? I want to know!
Have a great one!

Fun post.
ReplyDeleteMy sons are grown with families of their own now, and I thoroughly enjoy it when they look at me and ask how we ever managed...
I've been fortunate to be able to stay home. My mornings are full of checking emails; blogging; and facebook. I do a few household chores or errands, then lunch and spend the afternoon writing/editing. When the kids get home from school, I supervise homework, fix dinner, and depending on what night it is, I may continue writing before bedtime.
ReplyDeleteThe two years I did work at the school, I was grumpy due to no time to write. And when summer arrived, the words poured from my pen for three weeks!
Love the graphic! I don't know how we do it all. Multitasking is not pretty, but necessary, especially when you have an EDJ as I do. :)
