Most writers have full-time jobs as well as writing, emailing, maintaining websites, blogging, tweeting, pinning, Facebooking, linking, and whatever else social networking throws at us! It’s tough trying to make time for friends and family. It’s harder yet to find any downtime. Sometimes, my mind feels like a overtaxed computer with insufficient memory and an outdated version of Windows. I can’t do everything. It’s not humanly possible. And when I try to do everything, I don’t do anything well. So, my weekly blog has turned into a monthly blog, if I’m lucky. Facebook is a low priority and my tweeting has dwindled to occasional chirps. I have to meet my writing deadlines and I want to spend time with my family. If cutting back on cyber-interaction is the tradeoff, then I can live with that!
Absolutely, Nancy. Sometimes it seems *everything* is a priority – you need to step back, find center, and recharge. You are an amazing lady with a wonderful gift. Hugs!
Totally understandable.
