I wrote 7,000 words today. By 2 p.m. Thursday’s and Friday’s are my heavy word count days. What most would consider my “work days.” The days where I have our babysitter come over for 5-6 hours, and I go to the coffee shop and leak words without pause. Often times I don’t even eat. For me, as writing is my art, the relief and satisfaction comes just from sitting down and writing. Getting it out. Creating. Crying. Laughing. Loving. Being an author is a strange thing. I think it was @tarrynfisher who once said, “I am a stay at home mom with a full time career.” I nodded along, “Yes. Yes, girl, preach.” At my house I’m the chef and the housekeeper. I plan class Valentine parties at Blair’s school, and do all the school drop offs and pick ups (the sports too!) Those around me, who don’t “know” me, assume I am a stay at home mom. I love that because in this madness of my hobby turned lucrative career, my kids will always come first. Being Mom is my priority career. Babies don’t keep. Words, for the most part, do. I wrote 3 novels last year. On this crazy schedule that allowed for the maximum amount of time spent with my kids. It has the balance that works for me. I mean, my mind is usually mush on the weekends after writing long back to back sessions, but I digress. Before, when we couldn’t afford a babysitter and I was pursuing my writing career, I wrote at night, after the baby was tucked in and I had the most minuscule fraction of energy left. That’s what balance looked like then. It looks different for everyone, but I want you to know that you can do it. Whatever it is that sets your soul on fire can be accomplished and there need not be suffering in other areas of your life. There’s room for spouses, kids, fitness, writing, reading, and friends. It’s in the balance and the determination in which you pursue your life. You’ll see you won’t have room for excuses when you find the correct balance, and that my friends, is the real gift.
