Finding the time.

Sigh.

Finding time to write is always an on-going struggle for writers (whether published or otherwise, though I think the former have a slightly easier time since they can usually say, "your inane interruption is costing my advance. I'm going to start charging you at a per interruption rate if you don't leave me alone.")

One of the first casualities in pursuit of the Muse is usually a social life. I usually only see my friends once a month. Right now I'm struggling how to see one friend next week. Current schedule is:

Tuesday or Wednesday seem to be the best. Course they're both writing days. I'll have to push the writing till the later hours. Ugh. Hate to do that. I'm already only getting--on average--six hours of sleep which I know is contributing to my depression.

Well, I'll figure out something. I've learned long ago that while imaginary folks are interesting, they can become intolerable without "real" folks to counter-balance them. That is, until I'm tired of the real one ;-)
