Hi Debra!Thanks for a great post. This is an important issue for wrretis because *life happens* and everyone is usually dealing with something all the time that can impact their writing. This is why it is important, and something I stress in TIME TO WRITE, that authors take full advantage of those days when writing time is available to you because you just never know when that time will get disrupted by something else. During periods of adversity, I try to use that energy to continue with my work, or, if I simply cannot write one day, I will at least touch my writing by editing, reading a craft book, or reviewing my goals in order to regain focus. I think it's a constant ebb and flow between dipping deeply into the art and then managing real, day to day life at the same time, and it isn't always easy to do. Can't wait to hear what others do! Thanks for being here today!~Kelly
