Sorry. I didn't get finished with the chapter.

Things are really crazy, and my youngest now stays awake til 9:30 - 10 - after which point, I crash.

I will work from home next week, and this time, I vow to work on it (rather than napping)

lol... Leela, I appreciate your efforts to keep us apprised, but please, don't worry about us turning into an angry mob! Get it written when you can, then post it, and we'll all be here to devour it. I know I get really excited to see a new chapter... (or at least I think I do, it's been a while! )

Seriously, don't stress on our account. Whenever you manage to post again, it will be a terrific bonus in my day -- but in the meantime I'll keep on enjoying all the other fun stories and threads and *not* mutter dire threats beneath my breath <g>

Take care!

Thank you pam.

I feel an enormous amount of self inflicted guilt - which actually hampers my creative process.

The problem is this: I've been writing software 9-10 hrs a day. And then ... well - being with the kids.

And so I crash at night when they do, and i'm still always tired.

But this ends soon. The deadline is coming, and it will soon be better, and then, as you've seen, I can sometimes post 2-3 chapters in a week.

I promise it's on my mind daily, but I can't force it either - otherwise, it sounds wrong, and I end up scrapping it.

Oh well - duty calls (daughters are calling for me to turn on the water for their bath!)

Pam, your words were very soothing and helped me a lot!

Been there, been hampered by that

Mental exercise -- if this story was being written by someone else, and you were just reading it, would you be furious at the author? Gosh, I hope not! Give yourself a break, okay? You're doing the best you can. Unless, of course, you're actually lounging on a couch somewhere, watching soaps and eating bon-bons, in which case I take it all back

Good luck with your deadlines!
