finding time to write

I started this post and then left to do some yard work. You see, with a house, kids, a job, volunteer work, and whatever else, I find it very hard to set aside time for writing.

However...

I have made some slow progress on my novel. I know a bit more about Carrie, my protagonist. Perhaps by summer's end, I'll share an excerpt of the novel.

I've finished teaching, have all of my grades in, and now I'm preparing our house for Teagan's birthday party. I have a review to write this weekend, and then I have a bit more planning to do for our house because...

We're going to the UK and Greece for the summer!

I'll be taking my laptop and writing another blog--something much more detailed and frequent than this one! I'll include photos and details about our trip. More on that later.

The best part is that I'll have lots of time for writing. I'll take my notebook to the beach, and then do writing at night on my laptop. I hope to make significant progress in the 6 weeks we'll be gone.

I'll write at least one more post before we leave (20 June - 1 August).
