May - where are you going???

It's the 20th of May, already! Tomorrow is my 20th wedding anniversary - where did the time go? It's the same with writing, I lost time. I have so many articles and books and stories I want to write, time is taken from me and they are all in various stages of completion.
Okay, moving house didn't help my focus, but we've been here eight weeks now (OMG!) and finally finished our daughter's bedroom, time to take the pressure off I think.
And that is part of the problem, I pressure myself into doing so many things that NEED to be done, apparently? Do they though? Of course not, it is purely for my own need to feel this house is slowly becoming our home.
Same with writing. I don't have any urgent deadlines. No agent or editor is hammering at my door to finish the book, the stories or articles, I am my own boss, so why am I so hard on myself? practice for when another human being IS hammering at my door demanding I finish what I promised!!
Besides that, I enjoy writing, it isn't a chore, it is purely time is always against me. I am working on a new article for TNB and loved researching it. My imagination is slowly building up a few more faerie stories for the wonderful artwork of marina White and my third novel is always there in the background, but my brain is not ready to honour our agreement just yet. The first draft is done, the intense research comes next and slowly it will fill out and mould itself into a story I can be proud of.
I have entered three stories into two competitions. I am beginning my Chakradance course so my life can become even more busy and interesting! Oh the joy...
