Tough Call




I think one of the hardest things for writers to decide is when to discipline themselves to stay at the computer, and when to realize that its time to take a break!

This past week I really haven't done much writing on my current work-in-progress, but I really think that's been okay. I've been able to do some other creative things, such as start this blog, and have some fun on the ACFW forums (Hi Dineen! Hi Ane!) I feel like the break has been productive, in a sense, because it's given me time away from my story and now I'm eager to get back at it! I have new ideas and a fresh outlook.

This weekend, I'm still planning on kicking back - we have a pool party tonight and a day at the lake planned for tomorrow and a crawfish boil Saturday night! (for those of you not from the South, you don't know what you're missing!!) but starting Sunday afternoon - it's back to the keyboard!

Hi Betsy,

I'm from Texas, so we're neighbors. I've been trying to improve my WIP and stay in touch with ACFW friends - at the same time. It's hard for me. Blogging and Forum takes time, but it'll be great to meet people at conferences that we get to know online. I can't wait to go to Dallas. =D

Wahhh! I SOOO wanted to go to Dallas, but alas, with two babies under two, it's just not going to happen. I guess I'll stick to the forums...and cry from Sept 21-24.
But you're right, forums and blogging are fun fun fun...
