A Balancing Act

I'm officially a mama and happy to be one despite the sleepless nights and the balancing act of trying to write/complete edits and feed and change an insatiable little human. Still, I wouldn't trade the experience for the world. These past few weeks have really taught me the meaning of the phrase "expect the unexpected." With my baby boy coming two weeks early, I've learned to juggle like never before and learned that well… it's okay to drop a few balls every now and then.

I've been busy before. In fact, I swear many a blog last fall/winter was dedicated to being busy and getting back on the writing bandwagon. This time it's a bit different as this little person occupying my time just can't wait until I finish writing one more chapter or editing one more section. And, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want him too.

It's called a shift in priorities. With this New Year, I feel more passionate than ever about my writing and yet I'm also very passionate about doing my best to be a good mom. Quite frankly I'm not sure what will come of this balancing act but it's something I'm completely looking forward to.

And with that, I'd like to open up the doors to advice on how you writers out there balance your writing with the ever increasing complications (wonderful as they are) of life. I'd also like to wish you the very best if you too are experiencing a bit of a roller-coaster ride with your writing (for whatever reason). Happy writing this week and I'll check back with you all next week!
