I enjoyed reading it in the Author Publish Magazine. I could identify with it. As the mother of a one year and ten months old child and a full time professional in the corporate sector, I really have struggle to find time for writing. But I make it a point to write either before my daughter wakes up or after she falls asleep or sometimes both.
ReplyDeleteIt is tough, but it does feel good. Even if it's just a few minutes a day.
DeleteI enjoyed reading it in Author Publish too. I agree that the family actually benefits from us writing; I felt I became a better person once I set aside time for doing something I love. I didn't manage writing when my children were little, but I find now I can write when they are lying in! I don't moan about their teenage habits any more.
ReplyDeleteI know. I loved being a mother way more than I expected to, but I enjoyed having a niche that was just for me. When my kids were young it was just a little bit of time. Now it's more. And finding balance is still a challenge:).
