routine interruptions
Not much writing at all the past three weeks as we adjust to a new family member (which is going splendidly by the way, about as well as could possibly be expected given circumstances), but have either 3 or 4 short stories burbling in the backbrain waiting for keyboard time. Have caught up on some research reading, at least. Quite enjoying being a full-time mom, I’m as good at it as you might have guessed, for those who know me. The next few weeks’ project is to figure out how to more successfully integrate full-time mom-ness with full-time writerlyness. Since they both use a large amount of daily energy, I’d love to hear from those of you who have successfully juggled this if you have nuggets of wisdom to pass along. I’m trying to integrate all this as non-neurotically as possible, so I still have to sleep, eat, participate in various relationships, and otherwise take care of me as needed.
