Something really strange happened, I found that my time had been managed around my job, kids and hubby. This created a strange sense of flux and my days quickly filled with requests from friends and kids. I not only had to teach everyone around me that whileI didn't have a job outside of the the home, I did have a job. The hardest one, of course, to convince was myself. I had to give myself permission to organize my time how I wanted, writing now wasn't a reward for getting all the daily stuff done, it was my job. I'm still in the process of working out the kinks but don't let anyone tell you it's easy. It's a different kind of life and old habits of doing for others is hard to break. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02953440041536434213noreply@blogger.com
