In Deep

Ever get going on a story and wish the whole world would disappear so you could work only on that? Dinner? You want dinner? Go away.

Well, I wish I could be like that, but deep down I'm a mom at heart, so I  have to take a break from something and fix dinner. A real quickie dinner. So I can get back to my story. I have to finish it tonight!

My husband sent me this link to a very interesting opinion piece at TIME magazine on the changing publishing business -  so I took a few minutes to read it. Very interesting.

Hey Robin,

The mom stuff is time consuming, but isn't it wonderful to be so consumed by a story? I've seen that Time article and it is interesting. I think for the insiders it's not good news but for the little guy we have more options these days. So some good, some bad.

Robin, I've definitely been there. I homeschool my boys so the time I have to dedicate to my writing is precious little. Leads to many sleepless nights.

As for the time article...it does give you a little spark of hope to know that there are alternative methods after you've exhausted the traditional avenues.

Umm, all I can say right now is yes.

Consumed - yes.

Exhausted - yes.

All in a good way though.


Donna - there definitely seems to be more options now - at least for writers - I think.

T. Elle - Sleepless nights huh? "Mom, whatcha workin' on?" Hehehe.
