I am late in writing this post. In fact I am so late in writing this post that, on today's 'to-do' list is 'Write Blog Post'. For this, I am sorry.
The other day I got an e-mail in my inbox. I subscribe to a blog called 'Write On'. The title of the post that landed in my inbox was 'A Bad Blogger'. I read this post with humour and familiarity.
Although this blog has only been active for about a month, I completely relate to the post. I started this blog with the intention of sharing my learning journey. There aren't many blogs out there that deal with the process of getting into print (and if there are any, I have yet to find them). But I also have a 2 year old daughter and an autistic ten year old boy. Both of whom sap my energy daily. Just this morning, I had had enough by 8AM. Considering we had overslept and didn't get out of bed until 7:40AM this is a record, even for my family! This puts additional obstacles in my path. My daughter starts part time nursery in September, leaving me with THREE HOURS A DAY child free! Yes, party prep is in full swing. My fiance has said that I should not hope for much in the way of success until then. This is not to say he is not supportive. On his days off, he takes over the childcare whilst I run away to a coffee shop, laptop in tow. And to top it all off, we have just booked our venue for our wedding next year.
So, I don't know exactly the direction of the blog, and I am trying to keep coming and writing. But in the meantime, I will have to accept that I too am 'A Bad Blogger'.
There are many blogs about getting published - just google the term.
