Thanks, Kate! I’m going to be a slave driver to myself this week. LOL

Despite your setback, that is a lot better than many weeks I’ve had. Even now, I’m kicking myself for my slow work on editing.
Good luck on finding your writing balance!

I really hope this week will be better!

I’m so glad you liked The Gnome! That means a lot from an author as prolific as you are. Thanks for the reviews. I don’t know why you didn’t find it on B & N. I promise it’s there, especially since I’ve sold some there. LOL.

I agree…men in uniform are yummy. And if you find that dragonfly, let me know!

Major ick on the migrane and bladder irritation. That would definitely hurt the ability to write. As for babies, that’s a very pleasant diversion.

Weeks where it’s hard to write suck. I hate them. I hope this week will be better for you.

I finished The Gnome (loved it! and left a review on Amazon and Smashwords; didn’t see it on B&N but plan to review it when it’s over there; oh, I need to check Goodreads and see if it’s there). Anyway, I have two comments: 1. There definitely is nothing sexier than a man in uniform. and 2. Where did that dragonfly go? hehe

True, I did write. I’m going to try an extra dose of self-discipline this week, and I hope those nasty headaches will stay away,.

Thanks for the pat on the back, Karen. We all need that from time to time.

Thanks, Julia. Health problems can throw us for a loop sometimes, and we just don’t feel like writing. I hope everything is better for you now and that it continues to be.

I’m absolutely with Gene on this. I recently went through my own health problems (keeping fingers crossed now), and my writing was one of the first things to go – had to keep working, when I could.

Try to go easy on yourself about that, Lauralynn. We’ve all either been there, or will be eventually!

Thanks, Ryan. It was a rough week, but it’s getting better. I guess we all need to find balance. Sometimes it’s hard. Here’s to a better week!

I agree with all the comments as you did write during the week. Well, that’s always a marker for me, anyway, but I do know that any writing benefits us and is always worthy of a pat-on-the-back. Consider yourself back-patted and enjoy the week.

Ack. Sounds like you had a rough week for sure. I do hope you’re feeling better? Do what you can but don’t beat yourself up. Just keep trying to balance. You’ll get there.
