I...Yes, I say continue with the good father route. It's amazing how fast their childhood flits by. Plenty of time to write when they're onto other things in their teen and young adult years.<BR/><BR/>When mine were that young I wrote stories for them, usually inspired by my kids. It was a good marriage of my need to write and their need to be entertained and have my full attention. They still love it when, after they utter something incredibly clever, I scribble down the line for future use.biscotti danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193580185167350665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677110.post-1149335997512835602006-06-03T07:59:00.000-04:002006-06-03T07:59:00.000-04:00Sounds like a lot on the plate!

By which I mean, every last little square of time in a day seems blocked out -- from the about 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. I wrote more before I had a career <B>and</B> kids. But I found that a lot of that time I used to write (after work time) is now occupied by the kids. And I'm sort of coming to terms with that. Given the choice between being a good writer or a good father, I'll take good father. There will be time to write when the kids are older, and hopefully this forming of young minds and hearts is as creative a job as writing novels. All that said, I'm still looking for time to carve out for writing... and I feel just as you do, that when too many days go buy without doing it, my mood is affected...Ernesto Burdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149075744994415333noreply@blogger.com
