Balancing Act

One of the frustrations of any writer with a full-time job is balance. How do you keep the money-job from taking over your creativity until your writing begins to pay the bills. When I was freelancing, that was easy; I never accepted enough editorial work that the writing took a back seat. Now I feel like I’m on the edge of success with the writing and I had to take the current job in order to stay afloat.

So far, I’m not writing as much as I want. Evening hours, when I’d plan to write, are suddenly consumed with dinner and friends who want to stay in touch – and given how I feel about loyalty and staying close to the people I love and enjoy being with – I have to honor the special place they have in my life.

So I am stuck with the balancing act. There’s no easy answer. But I’m determined. And praying.
