I can write the posts, no problem, but then catching up with all the other bloggers eats away at my prescious free time which I love to write with. Ahhh! That's why I desperately needed my month off of blogging. It's good to be back now though.Patricia A.

Whenever I try to schedule like that (which I do every once in a while) it backfires on me and I end up turning into a couch potato within a week. So I've learned the art of sneaking up behind myself to surprise me with some snippet of manuscript or blog post that I just can't resist. No mean trick! But it doesn't always work, which is when I go back to being organized.Linda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001433214194860481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-19592899332698376712011-04-13T10:34:38.819-05:002011-04-13T10:34:38.819-05:00All my blogging takes place on the weekends and al...All my blogging takes place on the weekends and all my regular WIP writing takes place during the week while the kids are in school.

I'd love to come up with a schedule, but every time I do that, something gets in the way - right at the moment I'm supposed to sit down and write, or visit around to everyone's blogs, that's when the dog barfs something nasty up on the rug or I have to rush off to child #3's school with something she's forgotten and needs desperately - you know the gig :)Susanna Leonard Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655630528649780363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-52178526819345978062011-04-13T05:22:03.904-05:002011-04-13T05:22:03.904-05:00So nice to see your lovely faces!
