...That's What She Said

Thank goodness for First Wednesdays... and thanks to Alex J. Cavanaugh, it's the day we insecure writers come together to share our pitfalls and inspirations.  To learn more and read other's posts, click the photo link!

Who's feeling like an April Fool for not participating in the A - Z challenge this month?  This gal, right here.  My contribution to IWSG this month won't be inspiration to others this time around, unfortunately.  Instead, I'm wallowing in a slump of insecurity about my abilities to commit to writing... this blog, or otherwise. 

In the last three months, I took a little time away from blogging to work on editing my completed sci-fi short that clocks in at about 7,000 words.  Then, all heck broke loose at work.  So, after nine hours of non-stop stress at the office, an hour in traffic, mom duty, puppy duty and clean-up... these last few weeks I haven't mustered the energy to even sit down at the computer, let alone type something at the end of the night.  What about the weekends?  Ah yes... those... well, first my mother was in town, then my hub's best friend, then it was my birthday... 

So, dear blogging friends, how do all of you find the time to dedicate so much of yourselves to your writing, to your readers... just to yourself? At this point, I'll take any and all the advice I can get!
