We think we've got it figured and then something else pops up, throwing our rhythm off.

And recognising that self-care is an important part of that is key I think! I've been managing to up my yoga practise significantly over the past couple of weeks, but only thorough doing it with my toddler. He's currently very much at the stage of climbing all over me, but I'm hoping that if I persist he'll find his zen. And we're both enjoying it in the mean time, which is all that matters really! xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857873761525786955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864262147582811345.post-20821855081059799022016-03-20T02:30:31.068-07:002016-03-20T02:30:31.068-07:00The way you've equated getting into the writin...The way you've equated getting into the writing zone to sex is perect. It is like that build up and anticipation and fumbling and falling over and desperation and love when you get an idea nd the chance to let it flow. <br />Fitting everything in is something I struggle with too, but I'm just doing what I can to get by. <br />Glad the Muse is with you again :) xChrissie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737572653191655531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-864262147582811345.post-60760275240887611162016-03-17T04:59:54.293-07:002016-03-17T04:59:54.293-07:00Ah, the return of words.

I also agree that the editing is the most tedious part of the process but it feels good to get all the thought straightened out after that initial burst of creativity.

Good luck with a week of solo parenting - it does get frustrating when there's stuff you want to write and you can't quite yet because you're having to parent and cook and clean. I often go over and over words in my head trying to get them indelible so they don't disappear before I get the chance to write them down! Sounds like you've got a great attitude to it all though.
