I love your optimism but the reality is often different! Especially when traveling with kids and then throw in travel these days and who knows! Heck you had 2 hours sitting on a tarmac to read a book!! LOL. Hope you get home safe. Spring may have arrived if you wait long enough. Bernie
My professional writing journey began with the birth of my daughter. And as I was learning to write another one came along. We stopped there, but I get it. Oh, I get it.
It's so tricky to juggle. I feel the pull of writing, and I also want to be in the moment with the kids. I think it was Elizabeth Strout years ago who talked about her own need for writing and parenting, and the conflict of the two.
I hear you! Lots of juggling. I'd get up at 4 to have 2 hours to write. My secondborn was up at 6 and up for the day. Not a napper. My firstborn would sleep in til 9. And nap. 😂
I love the words you have. They are almost the same as mine (EIGHT and ANVIL are different). I think I need to figure out a way to make the words connect, somehow, narratively. I'll keep working at it. So far, you're the only person to work it out. Y got stuck...

It's either optimism or delusion ;-) I did manage a little work today, but not any writing yet. When will I learn?

The three blue Xs didn't show up on my screen but I can see them now... I'll work on making sure they are vanished for the next one.
