And yes, groceries are probably more important than shoes, lol! <BR/><BR/>I admire the fact that you've built a successful writing career that's keeping you afloat during these difficult times. I hope to follow your example! Happy writing!L.C.

I'll create a post about the topic later this week, and depending on how people respond, I may turn it into a series. Thanks so much for your input!L.C.

I find myself staying up until 2am to do my writing just so that I can spend some time with the fam and not become so guilt ridden that my main character gives up the quest and goes to bed for a week.

Balancing writing time with family time is a huge challenge for so many people, particularly those who have full-time jobs or are just short on time in general. I may have to focus a whole post on that issue. Thanks for the suggestion :-)L.C.

I feel especially that way about writing which doesn't pay anything. I wish you had a tip to address that scenario!
