Two weeks ago, when I was supposed to be editing my book 3 for my sister to read, a friend called and said, "How's the editing going?" I said, "Well, I cleaned my shower, did two loads of laundry, and organized the play room." She laughed and said, "That good, huh?"Kasie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169629001145903361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-78857379293331722772008-10-07T22:18:00.000-07:002008-10-07T22:18:00.000-07:00Oh, I so know what you are talking about!! It'...Oh, I so know what you are talking about!! It's a dilemma for sure! Although, currently I'm on the reverse side. I'm supposed to be editing proofs for a play, but instead my house is as clean as a whistle, I've returned all phone calls that I was behind on, balanced the checking account & written thank you notes that were months overdue!<BR/><BR/>It seems, not only can I ignore my house while writing, but I can ignore my writing when I'm supposed to be ignoring my house....does that make sense?<BR/><BR/>Squeeeeeeekkkkk....that is the sound of the scales tipping again. I'm not sure it's possible to balance the two - it's more of an "either/or" thing for me on any given day.<BR/><BR/>If you can balance it or practice moderation, then it's a neat trick.<BR/>Just keep showing up at the page - perhaps perserverance is more important than moderation. Just my two cents. good luck!

I like your place here. <BR/><BR/>PS. I'm way older than you. Don't worry about the house being messy. True friends don't care. You can clean when you're old and retired!
