I have a huge case of the Big Green Ugly. It's not pretty and I'm not proud of it, but I do intend to use it.
My friend is doing reeeally well with her writing. She has earned it, she works her butt off for it and is very talented. But I am stuck in Mommy Summer Schedule and can't hardly find the time to blog a short post let alone write. It's an excuse, but a legitimate one. You need to write to grow and progress, kids need care and attention. These two things are a difficult mix when school is out. In later years, it will be easier to just take the summer off or make sure that I have a very light work load. But for right now, when I am trying to establish myself - torture. I keep thinking, "We could afford the new swing set if Mommy sold a book which will never happen if I never have time to write!"
Oh well, I can't really change any of this right now. But I can turn my jealousy into motivation and planning. That way, when the kids go to school in the fall I will be ready to work. Full of writing mojo and enthusiasm, I will succeed!
Unless the money is tight and I need to find a paying job.... Poop.
