Great point here, Kay. It's interesting how the seasons turning changed my outlook. Spring definitely made me rethink things that 'looked' like priorities. A great reminder here.
I didn't become a published author until after I had retired and I had the support of my husband of forty six years so for me prioritizing is simple. Hubby trumps publishing. If there is something for us to do together it will win against writing. Even with that I have four contracts in three years, have done two book signings and about to do a third and sold hundreds of books. We have a standing date at 1:30 every day to do crossword puzzles and enjoy adult beverages. It is very pleasant and nice to have that consistency in my life. Balance is important. To be a good author and a good wife!
I am with you on that, Kim. If you can't share your success with another, what is the point?
