How to balance parenting and writing

Today was an experiment. Now that Caitlin is home for break, I’ve lost my morning writing time at Panera. Not writing was making me coo-coo for Coco Puffs, so this morning I worked in the dinning/Doctor Who room while Caitlin watched television in the living room.

It went fine for a bit, but then little miss started to nod off. Since her naps seem to cause seizures, that experiment had to end.

I still feel better now that I got some more revision work done. It wasn’t a huge amount, but every little bit helps.

I’m not as happy with this section of the novel, but I have some ideas about how to fix it. I can at least see the traps that I fell into. Now I just need to find a way to circumvent them.

This is wrong for so many reasons.

Parenting is glamorous

Fun is driving home from Easter Seals on country back roads for 45 minutes with wind gusts of 50 mph while reaching behind your car seat to push your daughter back into a sitting position because she’s fallen asleep and slipped through her shoulder strap.

I’m going out to a show tonight at The House with my friends Sarah and David. It’s my treat after a long week. The headliner is MC Chris. He’s best known for his work on Aqua Teen Hunger Force as MC P. Pants. It should be a fun show.
