Apologies...

I haven't had much opportunity to really think out a post, so just wanted to drop a quick note...

School for my oldest son started this week, and I've been training for my new job, plus my youngest son has come down with an ear infection... Fun...

I inadvertently made the error of telling my main squeeze that I was writing again, and he was like, "What? But there's laundry to do!" Yes, this is true, but writing for me is something I don't really feel much of an option about. If I don't get it down on paper (and even if I do) these characters are beginning to dominate my thought processes, and they will not be silenced!

This may seem weird, as most of you probably have supportive/understanding spouses who let you have your foibles, but mine is well... a pain in the tuckus sometimes... Love him dearly, don't get me wrong, but he is definitely a man with a plan, and when I am being my delightful airheaded self he gets aggravated, even though I make him laugh... :)

So, in between loads of laundry and dishes, dirty diapers, running to daycares, schools, grocery stores, work and my own school, I am still toiling away in secret, determined to crank out this book if it kills me! Well, maybe I won't go that far... :)

I am going to have to make some kind of posting schedule for myself when my store opens up and my life becomes routine, but my intention is to post a chapter a week, and as many updates on where I am in the process as I can!!

Thanks all!

Aw, I hope your kids are feeling better!! I totally relate-- it seems people don't understand the need and inner passion to make time for writing. Whenver I tell people I have so much to do, they figure I should just eliminate writing- whether its a blog, journal, or free write. They don't understand though...writing is the only thing I actually WANT to do from my to do lists...everything else is a choir! :P Anyway, I hope the kids are well and best of luck to finishing everything!!
