Balance

I'm entering the time of year where I'm finding it difficult to balance everything.  The school year is coming to an end which means parties and fun activities.  My daughter's ballet class is getting ready for their recital.  My son's baseball team is entering the play off season.  Vacation Bible School is coming up soon.  It's all fun and I enjoy it, but it makes the every day things a bit more difficult to do.  I've actually been keeping up on the house for the first time ever.  I don't always get everything done, but it used to be that my perfectionism would tell me it wasn't good enough and if I couldn't do it all then I shouldn't do any of it.  Doing as much as I can is a definite improvement.  Unfortunately, what has slipped lately is my writing.  It's been difficult to sit down and focus on the story.  Looking at my calendar it seems like things slow down in the middle of June , so hopefully I'll be able to concentrate more on writing then.

I think Brooke's story is coming along nicely though and I feel like I know where it's going which is always a good feeling.  I'm always interested to see if everyone else likes it as much as I do.  I'm looking forward to having my editors read it through and let me know what they think.  I'm also starting to get an idea of how I want to work Isabelle's story.  I feel like her story has taken me a little longer to figure out, but I think I'm going to enjoy writing it.  I actually enjoy the  process of writing more and more as I go along.

On another note, I want to thank everyone who helped to spread the word about "Smell the Roses" being on sale.  I did see a significant jump in my sales and I know that your publicity helped me.  Thank you!
