And think of how much our relationships fuel our joy and provide such an interesting background for our writing!

I've heard the expression, "Work expands to take up the allotted time." Making focused time for writing might be a key for you. I pray that God will guide you in your writing endeavors. <br />Sandi Somershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097011585168805837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-17453230263579504922014-08-02T07:10:53.355-07:002014-08-02T07:10:53.355-07:00Time is interesting.

I have been blessed with more writing time in this past year than I have ever had before, but have certainly faced almost to a tee what you have explained in this post. It is funny how we dream of having an "empty plate" so we can do more writing...but an empty plate just leaves us hungry.

I hadn't considered the fact that we need 'life' to feed our writing. Perhaps I can even consider my various roles and activities as ideal, rather than less-than-ideal conditions. <br /><br />Definitely food for thought.
