Family responsibilities (read opportunities you don't want to miss out on); caregiving; cleaning out a home of 30+ years, cleaning out a storage unit; and then the grand finale an out-of-state move kicked any dreams of a high word count out the door. I would love to get 1200 words a day done. But the way things are going, even if 100 words get written, the hard drive will crash and I'll lose it. <br /><br />At least I'm getting the challenge done.Helen Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194876999519569188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242138268331645687.post-63245867211146083122017-06-12T11:37:31.272-07:002017-06-12T11:37:31.272-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Helen Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194876999519569188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242138268331645687.post-63450053469982680592017-06-12T08:29:30.400-07:002017-06-12T08:29:30.400-07:00@Ed: Definitely not giving up!

When the guy I was filling in for returned, I think I wrote for 3 days straight. Cranked out 60 handwritten pages.....then had to decipher my handwriting and try to type it up, lol!<br /><br />Kenzie MichaelsMolly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242138268331645687.post-1381118670970094202017-06-10T20:10:23.634-07:002017-06-10T20:10:23.634-07:00I think we all can understand where you're at ...I think we all can understand where you're at right now. Sometimes you just have to hold on by your fingernails and not give up, because it would be so very much harder to start up again if you did.

But by the time my daughter was in kindergarten, I realized how much I LIKED staying home to write all day, and I loved having my summers free:) I think that's what I love most about my career; having the flexibility to be HOME with my kids in the summertime. Maybe I was spoiled by a mom who had her summers off (she was a HS nurse), but as I grew older, I realized what a gift she gave my sister and I.<br /><br />Kenzie MichaelsMolly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242138268331645687.post-7520195821290742812017-06-10T11:03:07.782-07:002017-06-10T11:03:07.782-07:00My first grandchild is arriving the end of July, a...My first grandchild is arriving the end of July, and I'm wondering, will I get much writing done after that?

Some days I'd surprise myself but most times not. LOL Now they are home for summer and it's slow going. The hubs did just get me some noise cancelling headphones for my birthday so hope that will help cut down the distractions.

Then again, maybe both options are valid. Who knows? What I do know is that I enjoyed your post, especially as I gear up to have my grandkids visit for a month and know that my daily word count will be nonexistent until the end of July. But isn't that the great thing about what we do? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
