And then there were three...

Hi! So, yeah, I'm not the most active here at Perturbed Parents. Quite frankly, I'm hardly active anywhere online anymore thanks to college! It's kicking my time-to-do-anything-else's ass! Can I say ass here? Oh well. Anyway! I thought I could devote time to writing while in school full time, since my eldest started kindergarten and my youngest still takes naps....but now? Um....PREGNANT! And totally not having expected it. AH! We're blessed, but I'm freaking out a bit. Instead of writing during her naps, I'm sleeping. Instead of writing at night, I'm sleeping or feeling really crappy. I know this will all pass (and Lord do I wish it to hurry up and do so!!! I'm miserable!) I can't imagine how in the world I'll find time to write again when I have a third child. Please, someone tell me it's going to be okay and that it IS possible, even when finishing school full time? Maybe? Possibly?

[Christine Fonseca]

Totally possible...but really, give yourself a break! Pregnancy has thataffect on people. But you'll find your balance - you really will. I figure if I can find time to write with two active (but older) kids, a 40 hr a week job that feels like an 80 hrs a week, a nonfiction career AND a budding fiction career....anyone can figure it out.

CONGRATS on the pregnacy. I hope you and baby tay healthy healthy healthy! HUGS

I'll ditto, Christine. Have faith. You can do it. Remember, though, to give yourself permission to take breaks. It's okay. Congrats on the new edition. ";-)

You can do it. I have 5 kids, 2 with special needs. It won't be easy but if you love writing, you'll find time. Just know that there will be good days where it is smooth sailing and there's time to write and then there'll be days where there is no time at all. It will all work out. Huge congrats on the surprise package. They are gifts...the kind with a no return policy. LOL.

Oh congrats! Yes as all have said here you will find time. Take breaks, and hey maybe this little break will help you revamp a story you've been putting off or need an ending to. Think positive and you will make it through.
